A question on operational briefcases...
As I understand it, if you own a machinegun, you can have an operational briefcase for it, no registration required.
If you have a pistol, an operational case for it would have to be registered as an Any Other Weapon.
In short, MG > AOW > Ordinary firearm. Which makes sense if you look at the transfer tax. $200 > $5 > $0.
But what about an operational case for a suppressed pistol? I own an integrally suppressed Ruger, and am considering cribbing together an operational case for it. Does Suppressor > AOW? FWIW, it's the only Ruger I own, they can't accuse me of making it for an unsuppressed firearm.
Thanks.
