SBR, Suppressors and Full Auto in Tennessee

[deolexrex]

As stated here a few day ago, I'm moving from central Illinois to middle Tennessee. Being from the Land of Lincoln I have grown accustomed to needing permission from the State to carry a No.2 Lead Pencil.

I'm wondering what is required to purchase and possess short barreled rifles, suppressors and full auto firearms in the great state of Tennessee.

Anyone with experience? Anyone with a link to the information?

Congratulations on the move!!! Bet you can't wait.

But I can't help you out, since I do not own any of the above.

First you need ATF to say yes.
Here's a link, not sure how valid it is. http://www.hero-gear.com/NFA_Guide.php

Tennessee is a great state for NFA ownership:

Tennessee Code § 39-17-1361. Execution of documents by sheriff or chief of police. —

The sheriff or chief of police of the city of residence of a person purchasing any firearm, defined by the National Firearms Act, 26 U.S.C. § 5845 et seq., shall execute within fifteen (15) business days of any request all documents required to be submitted by the purchaser if the purchaser is not prohibited from possessing firearms pursuant to § 39-17-1316.

You need to get in touch with member OEF_VET. He is a SOT (Title II dealer) in TN who can set you up with everything you need.

He is a SOT (Title II dealer)

What does that mean in English?

It means that he can sell you the good toys.

Guns and other items are either Title 1 or Title 2. Standard pistols, rifles and shotguns are Title 1. SBS, SBR, AOW, machine guns and suppressors are all Title 2.

You have to have an 01 (or an 07) FFL to sell guns as a business. An 01 FFL can sell Title 1 guns. You can pay a Class 3 Special Occupation Tax (SOT) that allows you to also sell Title 2 items. You can also get an 07 FFL that allows you to manufacture Title 1 guns and you can add to that a Class 2 SOT that allows you to manufacture Title 2 items.

So, an 01 FFL with a Class 3 SOT can sell Title 1 and Title 2 items. An 07 FFL with a Class 2 SOT can make and sell Title 1 and 2 items. Of course newly manufactured machine guns cannot be sold to the general public.

Make sense?
