Loaning a suppressor on private property?

[SealT5]

Any clue what the law says about loaning a suppressor to a friend or guest on private property? To be clear this would be on a large TX ranch where the Can will not ever leave the property. More or less going from the camp to the blind. Thanks

This question seems to come up on all the properties I hunt.

As long as it's on private property and person doesn't take it onto public....whats the problem....kids drive cars and trucks on private(and sometimes public) before they have licenses....

Kinda what I'm thinking but wanted to see if anyone actually knows. If I don't hear of any good reasons not to I'm going to loan it out at my discretion. I loaned one of my rifles this weekend to a hunter. He couldn't get his 300rum on steel at 100. He fell in love with my 6x47L

If I fill my shoes with dirt from your ranch and borrow your can ,I'm I still on your property ???Couldn't help myself,,,Good question,you should be ok...

According to ATF , the can must be under your direct supervision/control.

^^^^^
This is my understanding also, unless the person is on the Trust.
Around here, I have yet to hear of any LE or Game Warden asking for paperwork on a can. Does not mean it has not happened, just unaware.
That said, the chances of an ATF agent patrolling your hunting property is probably slim.
I do load dev for people at times, this summer I got pulled over by an HP, friends rifle with a can standing upright against the front passenger seat, I am out of bounds here. Not even a 2nd glance from him.

Also, if I understand it correctly, only an ATF agent can require you to show your paper work. Others can certainly ask, but I believe only an actual ATF agent has the authority to make you show it. I suppose LE could always detain you until an ATF agent arrives though.

Technically speaking, I don't think it matters if you are on private property or not, if you loan your suppressor to someone you have to be in their presence the whole time they are using it. The exception would be if you used a trust when you bought your suppressor/s and that individual was on your trust, then they could use your can without you being present.

The ATF reg's don't care whose property the device is on, private or public.

according to the ATF any dog within a 1 mile radius of their operation is a direct threat and must be eliminated.

As others have stated, it must be in direct supervision.

Just lock the gate, they will be supervised. I haven't heard of anybody asking for paperwork. I don't think most LEO's would make it a problem if all other game laws were being observed.

^ good point don't let law enforcement on your property without a warrant. Boom.
