Stashing suppressor on multistate trip including CA

[Laelkhunter]

Prison isn't worth a little tinnitus. I love my suppressor - not that much.

Earplugs. Or earmuffs and not worrying about it.

This forum needs a "Not Legal Advice, but..." section.

Yep. The Ole "Prison Pocket".

We talking a .22 can or a big ole .416 beast…?!

 

[Hnthrdr]

Best answer, just turn it into a car suppressor.

Solvent trap!

Keister it.

Quick Google search said don’t do it.

Just sat through a seminar with Coppersmith about this today. My understanding of what he said is as long as you aren’t in the state longer than 6 hours with it in your possession you can travel through with it.

I recommend you talk to someone that knows the actual law.

California is a do not travel state, you’re better off being an illegal with a pound of coke and no drivers license than an upstanding citizen with a legally owned suppressor.

Could one rent a safe deposit box just outside CA and legally/securely store the suppressor until returning?

Just relaying what I was told today and also advised to ask someone that knows that law.

If you're gonna keister it, make sure you get something like this to thread into the barrel end. Or you might end up with a funny x-ray image.

Tie a strong string to it is a good rule of thumb in these scenarios.

Were you guys never teenagers?

Buddy has a good rule of thumb to live by. “Only break one law at a time…”

Good luck with your internet ads for the next few days. Lol

Hahaha guys wow, this thread went off the rails quick. To be clear I’m not asking how to break a law. I am pointing out a problem and looking for a practical way to comply with the law, while still using my suppressor in neighboring legal states. I assumed others had encountered the issue and was just curious how they handled it. I was thinking more like a bank or train station lock box in a suppressor-legal state or something. But I guess I could:

a) Never go to California, the intended destination
b) Toss it in the woods somewhere
c) Stick it up my ass

I realize it’s possible that the ATF has dedicated some manpower to watch my every move just in case I might break a state law that the ATF does not enforce, but I am not too worried.

I’m thinking I’ll probably just mail the suppressor home if I take it. Thanks all!

The multiple choice format really brings this full circle.

I think a lot of big decisions could be made with a) b) and c) as you have them written. (Save "the intended destination" part)

Keep us posted on your decision.
