I posted this question over at THR and they said that there was more expertise here so please don't mind that I reposted this question .
I live in Illinois and have a pretty good collection. For some time I have been itching to pick up something full auto to complement the collection. Obviously, this is frowned on in Illinois. I live near the border with Indiana. Additionally, I visit both Nevada and Texas twice a year.
So it dawns on me that NFA weapons are expensive and keep going up. Some day I am going to move out to Texas to escape the hellhole that is Illinois. Texas has the sort of high tech jobs in Dallas and Austin that I do and the political climate suits me better. But I can't make this move yet.
What I want to do is buy a Class-3 gun in another state and keep it there. I want to do everything legally. I own a subchapter-S Illinois corporation. It is an ongoing 7 year old corporation that I use for consulting work and is going to continue into the future. How can I set this up?
I know the GCA prohibits purchasing handguns in states other than your residence. There is no prohibition on long guns. If I could find a shop willing to store a gun for me (or a bank safe deposit box - some are 24" deep which is more than enough for an AR-15 lower), would it be possible, feasible, and legal to use the corporation to buy a long gun in a NFA state and simply store it there?
Once purchased, what does it take to move an NFA gun to a different NFA state?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
