Guess that's why I've never heard anything on the topic! :D Thanks.wgoforth wrote:Interesting, but not the full reason. Churches are exempt on taxes of SOME things due to separation of church and state. That is primarily on the contribution of members (just like any 501c-3 non profit institution.). IF the church SELLS a service (day care, school, etc) then they still must pay taxes on that portion. So, unless the industries that make the ammo are declared non-profit, then this would not work. AND if they sold items (ammo) then they would have to pay taxes on that. Sorry, good idea! FWIW, I'm minister of a church and have had to work through all of the non-profit paperwork.

Re: The Future of CHL
This is a topic I haven't heard discussed before:
taxation of firearms & ammunition.
Churches enjoy tax-free status because of freedom of religion, right? If RKBA is so important that it's the second amendment, why not make ensure our freedoms are not encroached by punitive taxation by eliminating sales tax, excise tax, etc on these items?
