What Is a gun trust?

A gun trust is a legal entity that allows multiple individuals to legally possess and use firearms under the trust's ownership. This is especially useful for those who own several firearms or plan on passing down their weapons to future generations. In Arizona, gun trusts are used to comply with certain regulations, such as background checks and transfer taxes, when transferring ownership of NFA (National Firearms Act) regulated items.

Creating a gun trust

The process for creating a gun trust in Arizona is relatively simple. The trust must be created by an attorney or through the use of online services that specialize in gun trusts. Once the trust is established, it needs to be registered with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). After registration, all trustees listed on the trust are granted equal access to the firearms owned by the trust. It's important to follow all necessary steps and regulations when creating a gun trust, and to always stay informed about any changes in state or federal firearm laws. Responsible firearm ownership is crucial, and gun trusts can help ensure that firearms are passed down to your heirs safely and legally.
