Class 3 Firearms - Yes You Can!

As an Ohio Firearms Attorney I am oftentimes asked about the legality of title II Class III firearms. Essentially a title II class III firearm is an item such as a silencer (commonly referred to as "cans"), machineguns and certain other novelty firearms. As a Columbus Gun Lawyer I offer what is commonly referred to as a Gun Trust. Essentially, the benefit of this type of trust is that it avoids fingerprints, photographs, the CLEO (Chief Law Enforcement Officer) authorization, and speeds the process up of obtaining the item. In certain communities the chief law enforcement officer refuses or places additional burdens on gaining their authorization which is required by federal law if an individual is purchasing the item. The gun trust avoids the CLEO. Moreover, the gun trust allows for the appropriate handling of the weapon through the estate at death, thereby avoiding any potential violations of federal law.
