[QUOTE="BlackBelt, post: 5503104, member: 5867"] BATFE has always said to carry a legible COPY of your stamp paperwork with your NFA items (suppressor, machinegun, SBS or SBR, AOW) and to store the original in a safe place. I havent seen directives from them concerning having copies on your electronic devices but I havent been looking for them either so I dont have that answer. I always carry two copies for each NFA item that I am using. When I have had LEO interactions in the field for compliance checks I do not like to give my only copy to a deputy. I make sure I always have one copy with me and one for them. Thats not required but is best practice. An officer may take control of your NFA item while he is doing an investigation or if you are not in compliance with the regulations and/or are being arrested. In past interactions I have had deputies call local BATFE agents for clarification on exactly what they are looking at when viewing my paperwork. Most of the time investigations have gone very smoothly. I hand them my paperwork and point out my name, the serial number box on the form and the approval date. The officers typically have smiled and said "Have a nice day" and that was the end of it. Edited to add: The regulations say to keep the paperwork WITH the NFA device. Not keep it "in the truck" or "back at the tent" or "over at my cousins house". Keep your copies with you in the field. I fold mine up and put them in a small ziplock baggie (for water/rain proofing purposes). One other thing about leaving copies in your vehicle is that if your vehicle is burglarized while you are in the field the thief now has access to your address and your NFA items at that address (unless you made a trust with a different address). Plus, now if you call law-enforcement to make a report about the vehicle burglary and the officer asks to see your paperwork...it is gone. That could go bad in a number of ways. Just keep the copies on you. [/QUOTE]
