What the hell has happened to my commonwealth? Hopefully this one ends up as a lead zeppelin and not a Led Zeppelin.

I guess I'll jsut buy out of state now. Should only take a short amount of time to do a form 4 so I don't see why I should buy in state?

Pretty sure the form 4 must be filed in your state of residence.

Unless it has changed, the Virginia State Police do not consider suppressors a firearm so there is no background check performed by them. So buying one out of state shouldn't be a problem, but I'll cross that bridge if need be. I'm doing a couple form 4's and Form 1's this weekend

What does the state police have to do with the form 4? I'm genuinely curious.

That doesnt prevent other states from not selling to you. I deal with it plenty with CO gun laws. Ive been turned down for gun purchases in Utah for things as simple as having a 30 round mag.

I'm just saying there isn't a sale being made with a form 4. Its just a transfer document, so there shouldn't be any reason why I couldn't go to WVA, AK, AZ, SC, etc. to purchase a suppressor since they're only .gov controlled items. The doc posted above says "retail sale made within the commonwealth" . So if i retail purchase in another state, then NBD

I was always under the assumption that the form 4 must be filed in your state of residence. I see what you're saying about the actual purchase transaction regarding the proposed tax.

Can start an LLC in another state.
Then buy all your shit through it.
I have NFA stuff in a corporation for example.

After you get all your cans and such, do a merger and succession of the entity to a survivor LLC in your state. The assets go with it because it’s it a sale. Not a form 4 event. Talk to your attorney.

Only problem is you have to keep your entity compliant and current in your respective state. Some are easier than others.

My opinion only.
