Thread: Gunsmith - triggering event or not?

There was no activating event. I checked with the FSA beforehand, and they confirmed it was not an activating event.

The s43 mail order form is not an activating event. Receiving a firearm is an activating event.

Some of these interactions with the FSA (paperwork etc) are activating events - one was from a mail order form for a suppressor a guy ordered and got the registration notice from there. I have no idea what defines if it is going to mean you are required to register or not - I would have thought that if you are completing paperwork and it means you have to register then it's the same for everyone but it seems like that's not the case?
