Has anyone purchased a suppressor for their handgun/fire arms? I have a sig sauer p229 and sig pro sp2022 that i ordered threaded and now im thinking about going through the process i spoke with pierce county chief and he agreed he would sing off on it so........starting the process on monday.:monkey. Just wondering if anyone else has gone through the process, how long it took and how your dealings with ATF went.

On the FN forum, they are thinking 12 months...It was ~9 months before the shutdown.

Pierce county chief is a woman. Town chief is a guy. Besides can't put a suppressor on my 357 revolver.

I tried this method .... not the actual device shown here but comparable...

I recommend if you do use this method .. use a NEW oil can ... not a used one.

I think I read where the econocan license is only good for a single filter.

1 yr ? That's a denial as far as I'm concerned.

I got my paperwork and i might as well go for my FFL.

You might want to consider getting an NFA trust, there is a lawyer in Appleton that will do it for $300. It's the way to go for class III stuff.

As I understand it, another big benefit to the trust beyond the elimination of the LEO signature requirement (which I thought just got nixed by new BATFE rules...) is the ability to add trustees - say, children or other heirs - and not have to file new paperwork and pay the tax again.

I have never seen any advantage to getting an NFA trust, unless you can't get your Chief LEO to sign. In that one case it is indispensable. I do not live in WI and there can be local problems involved that I know nothing about. An NFA trust can present successor problems in some cases and some of them are just plain no good at all. Several people have had their NFA items declared contraband because of a poorly written NFA trust. I have been through the NFA process four times now and I have a current trust that I could have probably used for all four, but since my local Sheriff will sign for me on anything, I just did it the old fashioned way. The paperwork is not that bad, your dealer will do that for you and I don't think that you save any time with the trust. If you go to "subguns.com" and go to the NFA discussion forum there, you can find several discussions on this subject.Most of those guys really know their stuff.

Why are you yelling? Seriously....
For those of us actually in the industry, we are aware of multiple advantages and do not deal with hack attorneys, so there is zero danger of your doomsday scenario coming true.. Estate planning is just one of the advantages unless you LOVE the idea of the ATF taking possession of the NFA items instead of your family. You sound kind of ignorant in these matters as a quality trust eliminates successor problems.

How often have people's stuff been taken from them?

Also, I'm not sure you could have any larger text.

Relax guys, Gutshot has some vision impairment. He needs larger text and bold font to see what he's typing. He's not shouting or being adamant.

I thought all the regulars knew this.

You know what happens when you assume things right? ;) Most people stick in their own section and gutshot has only a few posts in the WI area. How would we know this?

It doesn't bother me at all, but I wonder why he doesn't zoom in so that not only his text but the text of other posters is enlarged? Hold CTRL and press + to zoom in, or CTRL and scroll wheel forward to zoom in, CTRL with - or CTRL with scrool wheel backward to zoom out... As far as I know, that works in current versions of all major browsers.

I don't understand why he doesn't just code himself a browser specially geared toward older people, if he is very ambitious he can design it so that the text grows with its proximity to the cursor.

Maybe because he grew up in a time of analog. Dinosaurs were analog, weren't they?

He found something that works and stuck with it. Why should he do something else to please the few people who seem to have a problem with it? Especially since, usually, yelling is typed with all caps, not with larger text.

I stand by my recommendation of using a trust. Find a reputable attorney and things will be just fine. A proper NFA trust takes care of the successor problems your estate WILL encounter without one. That is, unless you do not wish to pass on your NFA items to your estate in which case it is irrelevant. There are some areas of WI where LEOs are not NFA friendly and refuse to sign.

Wow, that's a bit over the top, no? I guess you missed that A: it doesn't bother me and B: it would benefit him to zoom all text instead of just enlarging the text of his own posts and C: I did not think he was yelling because I do understand the difference between all caps and larger text...

Because rather than throwing out an idiotic suggestion like yours I thought I'd offer one that could likely be done with what he already has in front of him.
