Roy Baker has been preparing both revocable and irrevocable trusts for clients since 1999, and during this time developed a detailed expertise on the proper functioning of trusts.  Roy Baker supports the God-given right of the people to bear arms, and recognizes that Article II (the Second Amendment) of the Constitution is an acknowledgment of this God-given right by the founding fathers.   Roy Baker has studied Titles 26 and 27 of the US Code as well as the corresponding titles in the Code of Federal Regulations and understands how to hold Title II (or Class III firearms) in trust.



The Trust does not require a filing fee, fingerprints or photographs and best of all you do not have to get a signature from your Chief Law enforcement Officer. In fact, some chief law enforcement officers will not sign a form 1 or a form 4, and a law abiding citizen has no recourse.

A trust can be created to protect your family members from inadvertent possession of an item regulated by the NFA that is not registered to them.

The NFA Trust is a trust that is tailored to ensure compliance with the National Firearms Act which regulates weapons that are known as Title II (or class III) firearms and O.C.G.A. 16-11-120, The Georgia firearms and weapons act. Title II (or Class III) weapons are machine guns, short barreled rifles, short barreled shotguns, destructive devices and weapons classified as AOWs (Any Other Weapons).  

The weapons regulated by the National Firearms Act are:



Machine Guns - this includes any firearm which can fire more than 1 cartridge per trigger pull. Both continuous fully-automatic fire and "burst fire" (i.e., firearms with a 3-round burst feature) are considered machine gun features.

Short Barreled Rifles (SBRs) - this category includes any firearm with a buttstock and either a rifled barrel under 16" long or an overall length under 26". The overall length is measured with any folding or collapsing stocks in the extended position. The category also includes firearms which came from the factory with a buttstock that was later removed by a third party.

Short Barreled Shotguns (SBSs) - this category is defined similarly to SBRs, but the length limit for the barrel is 18" instead of 16", and the barrel must be a Smooth bore. The minimum overall length limit remains 26".

Suppressors (aka Silencers) - this includes any portable device designed to muffle or disguise the report of a firearm.

Destructive Devices (DD)- there are two broad classes of destructive devices:

Devices such as Grenades, bombs, explosive Missiles, Poison Gas weapons, and similar items and any non-sporting firearm with a bore over 0.50", such as a 40mm Grenade Launcher often used in conjunction with rifles. (Many firearms with bores over 0.50", such as 12-gauge shotguns, are exempted from the law because they have been determined to have a legitimate sporting use.)

Any Other Weapons (AOWs) - this is a broad "catch-all" category used to regulate any number of firearms which the ATF deems deserving of registration and taxation. Examples include, among others:
Smooth-bore pistols
Pen guns and Cane guns
Short-barreled firearms with both rifled and smooth bores, etc.
Disguised firearms
Firearms that can be fired from within a wallet holster or a briefcase
A short-barreled shotgun which came from the factory with a pistol grip is categorized as an AOW rather than a SBS, because the Gun Control Act describes a shotgun as “…designed or redesigned to be fired from the shoulder…”
Handguns with a forward vertical grip. It is therefore illegal to place an after-market fore grip on any pistol without first registering it as an AOW and paying the $200.00 "making tax" imposed by the Act.
