How long before the stupid laws get purged from Burlington, VT? AFAIK it's the only moonbat pocket in the state. Well, when it comes to 2A at least.
I'll stick with NH for now.

As long as you don't need a job or pay taxes. Great State for firearm owners, taxpayers not so much....

This was passed earlier. If I remember correctly, they fudged it up (or were kicking around the idea of fudging) with a restriction they could only be used on a licensed range or some crap. Not sure what exactly happened to that language. So it might now be a 100% clean suppressor use law.
Still WAY better than nothing, as that at least will allow BATFE paperwork to go through. VTs existing suppressor law was pretty weak but it was enough to stop NFA transfers.

I'm not thrilled about the range only part but this has been a long fight. Vermont has long held the belief that suppressors would add to the poaching problem. I believe the $25 for possession is now $500 fine for illegal use or possession while hunting.

I've got a couple of rooms for rent in Starksboro.
PM me if you're serious.WHAT stupid laws in Burlington? The three resolutions passed last year were shot down in flames by the state.
Like "locked or secured case" in MA law, there's no actual definition of the actual range and probably won't be until and unless some LEO with a hardon for suppressor owners arrests someone. As far as I"m concerned, my side yard is my "sport shooting range" - it's got a target set up and all.
You're reading it wrong. It sunsets in two years. Hopefully, no one will get stupid in the next two years and we can make it permanent.
Find an NFA dealer, pick out the precise suppressor you want, fill out the Form 4 paperwork with your NFA dealer, and if you have an NFA trust, mail off the paperwork with a copy of your trust agreement and a check for $200. You'll get your approved application in 3-4 months, after which time you may take possession of the suppressor. There are additional steps required if you don't have an NFA trust.
If it doesn't, what happens to all the suppressors purchased? Since the tax is so large relative to the price, you'd take a real bath if you had to sell them.

Yep, safe deposit box will do while you sue, but honestly, takings is one place that government often flinches before the lawsuit is required, which is why we have all these grandfather clauses.
As they should, the ownership of property and the inability of government to take it without Due Process is fundamental to our system of laws.
Unless, of course, the kopsch hop up and down and go "We're taking this... CUZ DRUGS ARE BAD, MMMKAY?" Civil asset forfeiture is about as far away from due process as you can get.

Agreed, which is why we need to fight this more often and why we need to stop electing Republicrats and most of all why we need to buy things because they might try to take them.
