I haven't had time to read the AG Opinion, but a thought just occurred to me that I want to throw out to everyone.
I'm wondering about 'who' is considered licensed and thus legally able to possess a suppressor in Michigan. Obviously, if an individual gets the LEO sign-off and personally applies for the Tax Stamp, that particular individual is licensed. But what if that person's spouse, child, or shooting buddy wants to try out their new toy at the range. Are they now in possession and (since they are technically not licensed) committing a crime?
On the other hand, suppose the alternate legal route is taken by forming a corporation/trust to apply for the tax stamp i.e. the corporation/trust would 'own' the suppressor. So technically the corporation/trust itself is licensed (and it could be argued that the person forming the corporation/trust is licensed but Michigan Law may not be so clear. Further, if a trust or corporation is the owner/licensee who, if anybody else, might be considered 'licensed' under Michigan law (i.e. other corporate shareholders or trust beneficiaries)?
This could get messy real fast.
