Sgt Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 I think I know the answer of this, but I want to make sure. If a non U.S. citizen, living outside our borders, buys one of our registered Thompsons, do they have to go through the transfer process? Once the Thompson leaves the country, does it lose its registration? Can it ever return? What made me think of this question was the post on the Colt being sold buy the PD. Since they have a foreign inquiry, I was cringing at the thought that we might lose a national treasure. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/unsure.gif http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/sad.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blishblock Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 In my experience in carrying many guns abroad, you declare them at an airport or other customs office before you leave and you can bring them back. I have been through Dulles recently---with semi autos-- no problem. I would have all the paper work handy. The issue is getting them into the outgoing country--another story.

Arthur Fliegenheimer Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Blish, That may work for non NFA weapons, but trying that with a TSMG and the 1986 law would hit you smack in the face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
