I know this ain't new, but I couldn't find a thread with all the options covered and pros v cons for each. I read the stickies and several threads.

I'm going to be adding to my stamp collection with a few form 1 sbrs. I have my previous (pre 41F) NFA items in a trust. My trust is actually set up as an asset protection trust (silly me)with beneficiaries, contingent beneficiaries, ... In short, I would need so many fingerprints and photos I'd have to send it LTL freight.

I was going to file individual, but is that the most advantageous route? I could form a simple trust, or an LLC, sole proprietorship, or whatever. I do intend to get a class 7/SOT in the future but I'm not sure when. Would it make sense to lay the legal entity down now and license later? I will likely do the licensing in AZ as opposed to UT where I currently reside (homes in UT and AZ).

Any thoughts or opinions are welcome. I'm probably over thinking this and I should just file. Can't hurt to ask though.
