Ok... I know one has to fill out the form and send to the ATF for approval to transport your NFA item out of state.
I also know that whatever NFA item your transporting needs to be legal in the location your going to transport it too. As well as it’s probably wise that the states you travel through to your destination should probably be legal for the NFA item as well.
Now knowing all that... as we all know each state is also different in transporting firearms in your vehicle. If you have a LTC/CHL and if that state as reciprocity with the one or multiple LTC/CHL’s you have. (I currently have 3 soon to have 6). Texas with LTC you can transport loaded and concealed on your person for example. It’s also legal to do that if I am in NM, and Utah.
Now the question is with suppressors. It maybe classified as a firearm, but it’s also not something that can either be loaded or unloaded. You can have it on your firearm or not. But what are the rules for transporting? Can I have it laying on the dash, console, or in my pocket? Or in the glove compartment? Under the seat? In the door pocket?
I checked with various states where suppressors are legal, but could not find any rules or regulations on carrying or transporting them. Some has restrictions on usage. But could not find anything else.
Any insight would be helpful. I do try to remain legal, I don’t wish to give anti-gunners any “ammo” against us! Lol
