What about putting ordinary firearms in a trust, so at the very least if anyone asks if you “own” any firearms, you can honestly and legally say no? Does that protect from restraining orders (Lautenberg)?
I don’t know. Never seen that come up.
You shouldn’t need a gun trust for legal firearms, at least at the moment. Background checks still apply to the transfer, even for a gun trust. If a restraining order keeps you from possessing firearms, then you’d still be in possession, even if the trust owns it. And, a restraining order can probably be written to cover the trust’s ownership ... provided the writer knows about it (which they’d likely be able to find out).
