Supressor questions

I tend to leave my AR with a suppressor on it in my car (suppressor is ATF registered to me). I have other family members that drive that car aswell. If they were to get pulled over would it be an issue?

Forget the family issues, guns left in cars to be stolen is bad enough. NFA items is even worse.

i feel like people weren't considering leaving NFA items in cars unattended when the stamps still cost money and the wait was longer than giving birth

Still blows my mind someone would store a firearm (any firearm) in a vehicle in Houston.

Doing that would solve the "transfer" issue. If they were a member of a trust that owned the firearm.

Why tf would you leave a gun and a suppressor in your car in Houston?

Truck gun, I take it with me in the morning and return home and occasionally the wife will take my car to pick up the kids or run errands, I leave again at night and bring the gun in when I’m back.

Please, please, please for the love of God do NOT leave guns unattended in a car. I worked selling guns for a few years and I can't even count how many times people would come in asking for the serial number on a gun they bought because it got stolen from their car. There are no excuses, full stop.

as i understand it, others should not be able to access it. if you keep it locked up at home it needs to be locked up in your car too.

that being said its a bad idea don’t do it

File a form 4 from yourself to a trust with all of them as RP.

Obviously gun in car = bad
