Yup. You can go to the suppressor store and buy it, but you can't take it home until you pay BATFE $200 transfer tax and they in turn send you a stamp 6-9 months later to prove that you paid. The application process entail getting fingerprints done by a law enforcement agency, a passport photo, a signature of approval from your Sheriff or Chief of Police. When approved by ATF 6 months later, only you, or others in your direct presence, can actually use the NFA device. An alternative to some of that is to buy the suppressor through a trust, but that will cost you anywhere from $99-$500 to have a lawyer create for you. Then you still have to pay the $200 and go through basically the same application process (no fingerprints, no CLEO sign-off).
Yes, it's a hassle.

You need to keep you tax stamp with you to transport. You don't need permission every time. That's what the stamp is for.

Only option is to form a trust to buy one?
