Glock 18 fully automatic handgun?

Question

I want to puchase the above named weapon. I have been informed, however, that I would have to purchase a tax stamp that basically gives the government unlimited access to my home. Does anyone know about this area of law?

I am in the United States.

The great state of Indiana.

Answer 1

The Glock 18 is (in the U.S.) a law enforcement-only pistol that uses standard Glock 17 magazines, holding 17 or 19 rounds. It is sometimes used with special 31 or 33-round extended magazines, but this configuration is less common. There are known to be a few Glock 18s privately owned in accordance with the National Firearms Act.

All NFA items must be registered with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF). Private owners wishing to purchase an NFA item must obtain permission from both the ATF and the county sheriff or city or town chief of police, pass an extensive background check to include submitting a photograph and finger prints, fully register the firearm, receive ATF written permission before moving the firearm across state lines, and pay a tax. The request to transfer ownership of an NFA item is made on an ATF Form 4. NFA items may also be transferred to corporations. When the paperwork to request transfer of an NFA item is initiated by an officer of a corporation, permission from local law enforcement is not required, and fingerprint cards and photographs do not need to be submitted with the transfer request. Thus an individual who lives in a locale where the chief law enforcement officer will not sign a transfer form can still own an NFA item if he/she owns a corporation.

The tax for privately manufacturing any NFA firearm (other than machineguns, which are generally illegal to manufacture) is $200. Transferring requires a $200 tax for all NFA firearms except AOWs, for which the transfer tax is $5 (note that the manufacturing tax is still $200). Dealers who pay a special yearly occupational tax are exempt from these taxes for transfers to or from other special occupational taxpayers (SOTs). The registration or transfer process takes approximately 4-6 months to complete. Additionally, the firearm can never be handled or transported by any other private individual unless the firearm's registered owner is present

Answer 2

You have got to get a class 3 Federal firearms license. They can then come at any time and demand to see the weapon. They being ATF.

Answer 3

yes you have to have a special license as one of the other posters said. I don't know why you would want one anyway...u spend more on replacing the barrels every 4th fully auto burst than you would buying it. Grab a kalish or a bushmaster.

Answer 4

To my knowledge, there aren't any states that allow private citizens to own fully-automatic weapons of any kind. My questions is more why do you need it?

Answer 5

These weapons are completely prohibited in Canada. You should really say where you are from because laws really vary from place to place.
