The law firm of Arsenal Attorneys serves Louisiana by offering its original Arsenal Gun Trust--an estate plan for all firearms. Our Louisiana clients may use the Arsenal Gun Trust to obtain NFA firearms and permit other eligible people to possess them. 

We serve each client personally by providing a consultation and a trust adapted for their individual needs. We do not provide do-it-yourself or one-size-fits-all solution. We do offer a user-friendly solution for an affordable flat fee. 

Contact us today to request our information packet by using the online form at this link.

We offer clients a convenient process.  What do we mean by convenient?  

We've served clients all over the world by phone and email, including clients serving in Iraq, Afghanistan, and aboard a US Navy destroyer 'somewhere in the North Atlantic.'  Most recently we served a groom in Las Vegas as his bride was in the next room preparing for their wedding.  These experiences underline our commitment to accommodate our clients and to provide high quality services at a reasonable cost.

We're ready to serve you. Contact us to learn about our Arsenal Gun Trust, our general estate planning, our services for firearms instrucators, and our retainer hotline exclusively reserved for those wishing to keep us on call in the event of a firearms-related emergency.

Arsenal Attorneys are ready to address your general estate planning needs, including family trusts, wills, powers of attorney, medical directives, and more.  Our services are intended for clients with small or large amounts of wealth--the important concern is the need to protect your wealth or direct your loved ones in how they could benefit from your wealth.  Our lawyers will customize a solution for your personal objectives, and our process is designed to address overlooked issues.  Do you need to consider the following --- 

• Will your assets benefit your children or could they be directed to your spouse's new husband/wife?  

• Do you have a young child or one with special needs?  

• Could your family be susceptible to disputes over their inheritance?

• Do you have special assets requiring special guidance for your loved ones?

• Does a divorce or second family complicate your planning?

• Should your estate plan support a charity or special cause?

Our Arsenal Gun Trust clients increasingly request BATFE permission to manufacture or make an NFA firearm. Most often these situations concern the building of a short-barreled rifle (SBR). A manufacturer must identify themselves by engraving their name on the firearm they have created. In the case of an SBR, particularly one built on the AR15 platform, it can sometimes be challenging to find space available for this engraving.  We wanted to share a video demonstrating how the engraving could be located in the trigger well. 

We provide clients extensive guidance in this process, including the preparation of a Form 1, the specific legal requirements for the engraving, and practical help, including the placement of engraving and the best name of a trust considering these purposes.

Special thanks go to our friend Jeff May of US Tactical for providing us this video of his gunsmithing skills and capabilities. 

Recent media reports and a White House press conference brought attention to ongoing efforts by the Obama Administration to expand gun control through executive orders and regulatory changes bypassing Congressional approval. This agenda includes a proposal to change the rules concerning use of trusts for firearms regulated by the National Firearms Act (“NFA”). This proposal has not received final approval. If that approval is given, an effective date for any new rules must be announced with enough advance notice to provide regulators and the regulated enough time to come into compliance. Thus far, the proposed rule changes would seem to allow continued use of trusts for NFA firearms particularly for two very important benefits: to allow possession of NFA firearms by others and to create an estate plan for the inheritance of a gun collection outside the court system.

For those who believe future gun controls will make gun ownership more difficult, then they should consider acting now to get their affairs in order before any new gun controls take effect. Arsenal Attorneys continue to monitor developments closely, and we are ready to help clients get their affairs in order in light of the continued efforts by the Executive branch of the Federal government to restrict gun ownership.

In light of recent proposals by the Obama administration to initiate new gun controls on NFA firearms, we believe now is the time to act.  If you do not already have an Arsenal Gun Trust, now is the time to contact us to create one and to use it immediately.  If you are one of our existing clients, use your Arsenal Gun Trust immediately to submit applications to BATFE for NFA firearms.  

The reported executive order concerning NFA firearms is still in the proposal stage.  We will shortly recommend ways to exercise your rights to influence the rule-making process. We will probably not see any final decisions, if any, and an effective date for new regulations until months from now. 

Nevertheless, act now to have the best chance to avoid future restrictions that could make your applications to BATFE more difficult at a later date.
