Arsenal Attorneys will exhibit at the Nation’s Gun Show in Chantilly, Virginia July 27-29. This is one of the biggest gun shows on the East Coast featuring a display from the nearby NFA Hqs Museum. It is said that if all the exhibitors’ tables from this show were in a straight line, it would extend over a mile a half.

This will be a great opportunity for you to ask us questions about the National Firearms Act (NFA), Class 3 gun dealers, BATFE applications (like ATF Form 1 and ATF Form 4), or estate planning for firearms.

A popular topic at the gun show concerns BATFE’s right to search. We can clear up much of the confusion on issues like this. BATFE has a right to enter the premises of a Class 3 gun dealer once a year during normal business hours; however this does not apply to owners of NFA firearms, including NFA gun trusts. If BATFE wanted to search your home because of your ownership of a silencer/suppressor, short barrel rifle or shotgun, or machine gun, they would need your permission or a warrant.

Of course the gun show is also a great opportunity for us to meet clients in person from the surrounding region, including Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Georgia. We will soon have the ability to serve clients in nearby West Virginia and Tennessee as well.
