Take note of the last sentence as to how the term “bump-fire stock” is defined. People have argued that it could be applied to a rubber band

Title XLVI
CRIMESChapter 790
WEAPONS AND FIREARMSView Entire Chapter 790.222 Bump-fire stocks prohibited.—A person may not import into this state or transfer, distribute, sell, keep for sale, offer for sale, possess, or give to another person a bump-fire stock. A person who violates this section commits a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084. As used in this section, the term “bump-fire stock” means a conversion kit, a tool, an accessory, or a device used to alter the rate of fire of a firearm to mimic automatic weapon fire or which is used to increase the rate of fire to a faster rate than is possible for a person to fire such semiautomatic firearm unassisted by a kit, a tool, an accessory, or a device. -
Buddy of mine just ordered one after I showed him the video. He plans to use it in his next build. Should be interesting. The company, Rare Breed Triggers, as well as my friend who ordered the trigger are in Florida. When Florida passed a Bump-Stock ban prior to the Feds doing so Florida worded the law in such a way to prohibit any device, attachment, or accessory that accelerates rate of fire. Many keyboard warriors have argued that in Florida that would include binary triggers, although there is no case law on that which I am aware of.

I personally will not make a Gun Broker purchase unless I can pay with a credit card. If you read the fine print on the Gun Broker site, they offer very little protection. Unlike a bigger player such as PayPal, Gun Broker, IIRC, only covers up to $150 in loss if you get scammed by a seller.
I have made an account on Gun Tab but have not yet made a transaction through them. Gun Tab seems like the best alternative to PayPal, Venmo, etc. Another thing that appeals to me about Gun Tab is that they have a network of participating FFL's. I would think that would grease the wheels with regard to transfers.

Those are impressive. I’ve looked at the kel tecs also. They have a 12 round version that would be great for camping and hiking.
I tried out the Kel-Tec KSG prior to purchasing the TS-12. I hated the KSG!!! The biggest drawback to the KSG for me is the downward ejection.
I keep my elbows tight against my body while shooting. Each time I ejected the spent shell it would forcefully strike my wrist. Enough force to draw blood and leave a bruise that remained for several days. One box of shells through the KSG convinced me it wasn’t the right gun for me.

Along that line of being ready for a "gaggle of bears," I have been very impressed with my Tavor TS-12. 16 rounds at the ready with the ability to reload on the fly and no loose magazines to tote around.

Without a doubt a 5.56 dedicated can performs best on a 5.56. Obviously though the ability to use it on larger bore platforms is lost. On my SiCo Omega I change out the .30 end cap to the 5.56 end cap for a ski ght improvement but still a bigger can then had I gone with a dedicated 5.56.

That’s not bad. My stuff has run anywhere from a minimum of 8 months several years ago to most recently 14 months.

Just be careful. I wanted 1 suppressor and I'm at:
1 .22lr
1 9mm
1 5.56 cal
1 458 cal
5 .30 cal
I'm not as addicted as you are, but I have 5 cans. I'm trying to talk myself out of getting a 30 cal. OSS suppressor. I am intrigued with how different they are from the majority of silencers that use baffles. I very much like the concept of no back pressure for use on my Tavors since the ejection port is so close to my face. They sure want a premium for their design though. Although the price is steep, the biggest obstacle to making the purchase is how much I hate the BATFE wait for approval.

Not that my opining counts for much, but I find it senseless that the TN CCW permit allows for a gun but not for a potentially less lethal option to be carried.

My criteria in holster may be way different than your criteria but I won't carry OWB in anything less than level II retention. I really like Safariland ALS.

TWRA tried to have a fairly open season on hogs in order to cut down the numbers. Unfortunately, it had the opposite effect w/ hog numbers spreading during this time. The officers I've spoken with implied that folks were catching them and releasing them to establish a huntable population in their area... so now we have the regulations that are in place.
I can see that certainly being a problem. I know of restrictions in other areas which prohibit the relocation of wildlife. Maybe that’s already against the law in Tennessee and those jerks just chose to disregard that law.
Moving wildlife around runs the risk of spreading all types of diseases and parasites and that’s why other areas prohibit the practice. That doesn’t stop people though from illegally relocating raccoons which they have trapped. That has led to the spread of rabies from one area to another.

It is my understanding that to make a machine gun, you have to have the FFL & SOT, and a business license, making them for the government or LE. I don’t think you can just get a license and make them for yourself, but I could be wrong. My local laws don’t allow me to even do business as a standard 01 FFL in my home.
To go further, if you're acting as a manufacturer via your FFL & SOT you better also have a letter or contract with a government agency or police department. I've read of guys claiming they were producing samples to demo and market to police departments but they had no solicitation from any law enforcement agency. Their argument reportedly didn't get much traction with ATF.

It would make ecological sense if TN would allow eradication efforts with regards to coyotes and hogs to be conducted without any type of license, equipment or season restrictions. Both coyotes and hogs are invasive species that wreak havoc on the native flora and fauna.

If you're building from scratch, my recommendation is that you don't have all the parts until you receive your approved Form 1. To have all of the parts without the tax stamp, even if they are not assembled, may be considered as "constructive possession." That's not a headache you want to deal with.
If you change course and don't build from scratch, my suggestion is to purchase a gun that is configured as you like albeit with a pistol brace. Then submit the Form 1 and install a stock once you've received back the tax stamp.
Another alternative is to purchase the rifle you want albeit with a longer barrel than what you want. Once you receive your tax stamp you can switch out the barrel or entire upper to the length you desire in accordance with what you put on your Form 1.
Side note: you can have different length barrels and different calibers that you use on the one registered lower. Just always keep the length/caliber listed on the Form 1.

As I type this, CapitolArmory.com lists them as in stock for $75 plus S&H.

1976 guns. I was told they had paperwork, but who knows. I'll keep trying to get a DIAS.
I sold a Lightning Link for a little north of $11k a couple of years ago. Given the price I see them going for now, I guess it was sold at a bargain.

IMHO the state doesn’t need to be involved; that would simply end with banning discharging a firearm anywhere other than rural areas. However, cities, towns and counties should publish their firearms laws. Hawkins County may have done that, but they aren’t making it easy to find.
I will respectfully disagree. On the one hand, if there’s no written law or ordinance prohibiting such, it’s not against the law. On the other hand, a patchwork of laws from one municipality to the other as they fill voids which the State has not addressed is nothing but a hodgepodge of regulation waiting to trip someone up and allowing multiple fiefdoms within the State.
I wouldn’t think preemption in this area of firearms would be a concern in Tennessee. I thought Tennessee had a strong gun rights climate, even among the State level politicians. The fact that a gun can be legally safely discharged for target practice or similar recreation on a 1/4 acre or smaller city lot in the heart of busy Orlando or in congested Miami but at the same cannot be done in certain municipalities in Tennessee just blows me away.
-
The address change form, ATF Form 20, generally comes back within a few weeks. It's really not a big deal.
The fact that the rules for discharge of firearms in Tennessee differs from municipality to municipality points to the need for preemption at the State level in this regard.

Took me a while to find it, but straight from BATF. Last page sums it up.

Citation?
I found plenty of posts on various other forums agreeing with what I wrote, but figuring you would want something with a little more authority than another Internet forum lawyer, perhaps this will fit the bill...
The last sentence makes the point.
“Can I travel both within my state and across sate lines with my SBR?
You are free to travel with your SBR within the same state as you reside. When traveling out of state first and foremost understand the laws of the state you are traveling. If local state residents can not posses a SBR then you as a visitor can not either. Before traveling across state lines with your SBR you need to submit a Form 5320.20 to the ATF and wait for approval. This form does not cost anything, but takes 4-8 weeks to get back approved so plan accordingly. Another option is temporally return the firearm to the title I configuration and then you can freely travel across state lines (again know local state laws for title 1 firearms).”
That quote is from https://www.rainierarms.com/blog/atf-form-1-creating-or-manufacturing-your-own-sbr-faq/

Although I'm of the mindset that it's better to be legally safe rather than legally sorry, as someone who owns and travels with NFA items I can say from experience a registered and taxed SBR is considered such only when in title 2 configuration. In title one configuration it is considered just as such.
As an example, my AR-15 SBR is considered a rifle. If I remove the rifle stock and install a recognized pistol brace, keeping in mind LOP requirements, and remove the VFG, now in that configuration it is just a pistol. Likewise with my Mossberg Shockwave. With the birds head grip in place it's a "firearm." Once I received the tax stamp and I then installed a shotgun stock it became a legal SBS. If I want to sell either of those items I can configure them as title 1 firearms, write to BATF for them to be removed from the registry, and then sell them without someone waiting to acquire their own tax stamp.

Maybe as the standard for the speed “a person to fire such semiautomatic firearm unassisted” is determined we can use Jerry Miculek as the benchmark?
