Another questions similar to this one.....Do you need to keep a copy of the stamp on you when you're out shooting/hunting? If so, will a picture on the phone work or does it need to be an actual copy?

Are they looking for just the stamp or all of information on that page. I like the idea of having is shrunk down to a credit card size for the wallet.

I just keep a binder of full sized copies locked in my truck. I found it easier to have one binder will all forms than to try to put a form in the case with the guns.

You do not know who, when or where you may be asked to see the paperwork. The simpler things are for the LEO, the easier things will be on your end.

This is the reason why I have my forms in my individual name, but I'm lucky that my sheriff will sign off on NFA items. If someone stops me and asks to see the paperwork, I have a full size 8 1/2 x 11 copy of my form with the sheriff's sign off on it. That will satisfy most LEO's if they are looking at it. If I'm on the side of the road with a rookie, that probably is not the time to start having to explain the ins and outs of trusts and the NFA, or he or she is going to let the NFA holder explain it to the boss downtown. Just my take on it. Keep it easy to read and simple for everyone.

And a side note, don't judge books by their cover. My sheriff is black, a Democrat, in Travis County. I've meet with him twice in person for NFA sign offs. He is professional and personable and told me he likes good citizens to be armed as it helps them. He is a good man.

The white "conservative Republican" in the adjacent county, Williamson, does not believe citizens should own NFA items and will not sign off.

So, take time to meet people and judge them by their actions, not their color or labels.

Suppressor only.

Ok, so as long as you can produce them in short order (IE: Gun case or truck) but don't necessarily have to have it on your person.

On private property, I never bother having it on me. As long as there's a paper copy on the property (back at camp), then I don't worry about it. If it were public hunting land, then I would carry a shrunken down copy with me somewhere.
The only ones who have asked me for it so far are the guys running the gun range.

I guess they could say you can't shoot there if you refuse. It was the first thing he asked for when I said I was shooting a suppressed SBR. He glanced over every page of the trust. Don't know why. He said he had filed for a suppressor and was waiting to get the stamp back. Maybe he was curious, maybe he was nosy.
