Had to travel with 9x11 FFL documents in hand all the time for both the gun and silencer. The fed knows the risk is smaller than a
extintion asteroid hit on the earth so the $400 Federal stamp tax is the best money that goes into a hole that never gets recorded. You buy $400 plus what it costs, cross state lines $400, leave the country as a mercenary $400, return $400. The latter is picked up by contracts from Blackwater or other military contractors.

What do you mean by current handgun license, just a concealed carry?
The Thompson is a 75+ year old gun, I do think age makes a difference on ownership requirements.
Back in around 2005, during the real estate boom where people were burning through home equity I saw a cable TV show covering a large shooting range, maybe in Arizona? This wasn't your normal shooting range, they had all kinds of things to shoot at, even junk cars with the glass still intact. They had machine guns, grenade launchers and other nasty things to rent. Some guys were spending $5-$10k a day on gun rental and ammo. I wonder if that place is still in business?
