How old?

[Aperta]

How old do you have to be to own a suppressor? I've looked around online some places say 21 some say 18 but you cant have suppressors in a pistol caliber. the reason why i'm asking this question is because i was talking with my dad and he asked what i want for a graduation present jokingly i said a suppressor for my AR him being somewhat anti gun i was expecting him to say **** no! But he said he will give me the money for it. I think i may have converted him! Muahaha!

Use a trust. Don't own it yourself.

that's what i was planing on doing using a living will so that way when i go into military my dad can legally keep it.

A will doesn't work unless you die. A will is not an entity that can own an NFA item. Only a trust can.

A living will can I have a friend that uses a living will and he has plenty of nfa goodies

In his name, correct? Which means no one else can possess them.

You have to be 21 to buy and 18 to own, kinda stupid but that the way the gubbamint works. My son turns 18 in January and he will be added on the trust. I have never heard any caliber restrictions, in fact a lot of suppressors are marketed that they work on multi-calibers. Anyway the "21 to buy and 18 to own" also applies to handguns. So you would be good to go in either case.
Thats going to be a pretty sweet grad present. If you get paper work going soon, you might have it in hand for G-day.

really damn... So I guess I gotta choose a different graduation present. I own a handgun that I bought from a private party. Assuming you have go through a class 3 dealer you cant buy a nfa item privately with out the 21 thing come up.

I hope his well acquainted with firearms laws lawyer specifically told him that. And then the second opinion from a better lawyer. Because that really does not sound correct at all. A trust is a legal entity (a person) that can own something. A living will is not.
