There is one point you may find of interest. Per BATF, the Form 4 does not need a CLEO signature if the transferee is a corporation.

Eric, I am not angry and if I sounded that way, I am sorry. But folks come on boards like this and want legal advice. I can't give legal advice, and I think anyone would be a fool to accept what I or any one here would tell them. No lawyer would respond and give advice based on a short posting (or for free).

You are talking about how to set up a corporation or a trust, the requirements, the state of incorporation vs. local offices, etc. Those are complex questions with complex answers, which is why lawyers get big bucks for answering them and keeping their clients out of trouble.

As to anti-gun lawyers, of course you want to avoid them. Ask around at gun shops and clubs. Ask friends you shoot with. Some may even be attorneys who can either help or refer you to a specialist. One lawyer I know is a pistol shooter, another collects and shoots machine guns. Like any other group, lawyers are a clique. Being able to say "Lawyer Joe sent me" can open a lot of doors and gain instant acceptability.

As a worst case example, one naive fellow wanted to know how he could go about smuggling his gun into another country. Someone told him his CCW was legal anywhere. Others advised on secret holsters and hollowed out books. I only hope he didn't have to try telling a firing squad that some guy on TFL told him it was OK to smuggle illegal arms into the People's Republic of Zilchistan.
