OK, I know I am wrong for this, but I was bored and found myself surfing ar15.com :shock:
They were having a discussion about The Lee Kay Center, and how they have a bunch of (unenforceable) stupid ass rules, in particular, a ban on supressors. Somebody else mentioned that Salt Lake County also has a (unenforceable) ban on silencers.

I have been asked to respond to your question about a Salt Lake County Ordinance that governs the possession of certain weapons. While I cannot provide you with legal advice, I am happy to provide you with information. Specifically, there are some ordinances and statutes that you should be aware of.
As to your question about SLCO 10.64.030 A4 prohibiting the carrying of concealed firearms in a vehicle, please refer to 10.64.040 A2, which states that the prohibition does not apply to “[p]ersons authorized under state law to carry a concealed weapon.”
You have also asked about ownership of short-barreled shotguns and silencers under the National Firearms Act of 1934. Please refer to 27CFR479.52, which states that “[p]ayment of tax under federal law confers no privilege to act contrary to State law. One to whom a special tax stamp has been issued may still be punishable under State law prohibiting or controlling the manufacture, possession or transfer of firearms.”
In addition, please refer to 27CFR479.63, which states that an application to make a firearm must include a certificate stating “that the certifying official has no information indicating that possession of the firearm by the maker would be in violation of State or local law . . . .”
Finally, please refer to 27CFR 479.85, which states that an application to transfer a firearm must include a certificate “that the certifying official has no information indicating that the receipt or possession of the firearm would place the transferee in violation of State or local law . . . .”

Now, if I have read this correctly, then Blake Hills is telling people that their BATFE tax stamp is no good in Salt Lake County, and their sill ordinance is still applicable! :cuss: This was dated 01/28/2009.
