On the forms (1&4) it only specifies that you must present the stamp to BATFE agents upon request. It would be common courtesy to present them to RO's if asked, but not legally necessary. They may deny you acces to the range if you don't comply, but that's their rule, not law. I know a lot of people with NFA items (myself included) and none of us have ever been asked to show the stamp by any authority. I was asked to show once by a member of my gun club, but I politely declined, citing confidentiality.[.quote]
I stated in that post "those authorized to ask", and that "range safety officers will ask" -NOT that they were authorized to do so by law. Yes, every range I have shot at/worked at in AZ required us to ask for paperwork from those utilizing NFA firearms, for the range's legal liabilty protection. If someone refused to show documentation, they were requested to leave immediately. Range rule, not a law. If your's aren't required to, great, good for you, keep supporting them. I had to follow company rules, and never recieved and flak back from any law abiding citizen from whom I requested paperwork.
I just wish for an overturn of NFA '34, so none of this stupidity will be neccesary in the future.
