All of these comments are wrong and you sound very uneducated.

- Certain states have serialization requirements and registration once a firearm is assembled (the slide is connected to the frame).

- Many states require a permit to conceal carry but may only require a driver’s license to purchase (meaning you can own but not conceal without a permit).

- If a store posts signage saying firearms are prohibited, you legally can enter, however you can be trespassed if they discover you possess a firearm. This is generally not a criminal charge, unless your firearm is possessed illegally or another violation has taken place.

- A “suppressor” (the more correct and accurate term) is purchased from an FFL and transferred to the buyer via an ATF Form 4 (not a Form 1). Additionally, certain states do not allow the possession of a suppressor, regardless of the legality at the Federal level. FFLs don’t generally manufacture suppressors, they sell them.

Cool, not mine, not for a title 1 firearm like a handgun. I did say 'my state' not 'your state.'

>- Many states require a permit to conceal carry but may only require a driver’s license to purchase (meaning you can own but not conceal without a permit).

Cool, mine doesn't require a drivers license to make a gun and doesn't require a CCW or ID to conceal it.

My local bank ('a bank') doesn't have that, maybe yours does.

FFL type 7 makes suppressors for a profit. You generally cannot make silencers intended for sale without an FFL.

A private individual can make them with a form 1 without involving an FFL. That is, you pay the NFA tax stamp filed under form 1 and make it, there is no transfer or from 4 needed if you legally make a silencer.

I don't care which you call it, the NFA calls it a silencer, it is dumb but the government doesn't give a shit that you call it a suppressor they will lock your ass up if it meets their definition of a 'silencer' regardless of chosen semantics.

missed the “my”. you are correct in that case. in “my” state, we can’t have any fun. hint: it rhymes with “taxachussetts”.
