I have an LLC, which is inactive; I am the only member. It's all registered and current with the Secretary of State. Since I am not using the LLC for a business as originally envisioned, I was thinking of dissolving it - but it occurred to me that there might be a firearm-related benefit to keeping it alive.
Does anyone here know if the LLC could serve as a de facto trust for the purpose of firearm ownership? In other words, could I transfer ownership of my firearms to the LLC in order to (a) minimize personal liability, and (b) avoid probate upon my death, to facilitate liquidation of the firearms by my spouse? I don't have any NFA items (but have thought about a can); I'm really just asking about the 'normal' firearms.
I know, ask a lawyer. That's what I'll do if no joy here, but I thought I'd ask if any of you have already looked into this or even done it.
