Traveling with NFA items-Trust Question

[muddywings]

I made photocopies of my stamps and laminated them for travel with my new toys.
With that, do people also travel with copies of their trust too? My trust has my address but not my name obviously. More importantly, my mom and stepdad on the trust and a Sparrow resides with them. While they have the copy of the stamp, the stamp address isn't the same as their address-meaning if the question ever came up I could see the situation dragging out longer than it should.
Both my stepdad and myself have a PDF copy of the trust, showing all pertinent paperwork, located in our iphone dropbox so it is accessible to show that he and my mom are co-trustees.
Just wondering what others who have trusts are doing when traveling to the range.

thanks

I keep a copy of the Form 1 or 4 with item.

That's the Official Federal Document. No one cares or should anyone outside you, a family member, or attorney have access to your trust. I carry a 5320.20 along with my stamp (SBR, SBS, AOW) NOT silencer / suppressor when traveling out of state. Thats the doc from the ATF allowing OOS , make sure you file at least 30 days prior to trip. The turn around time is 7-30 (approx)

I fly with NFA items about four or five times a year. Like Jim, I just bring my forms and my 5320.20. Never had a problem, ever.

I am not saying don't lock your guns/NFA.... AT ALL. But does the TSA get weird about the locked boxes when flying on a plane. I fly all the time but have not had to go with guns/NFA. I normally don't check anything and just travel light. This would obviously not be an option if I were bringing guns along.

The firearm must be in a hard-sided container that is locked. A locked container is defined as one that completely secures the firearm from being accessed. Locked cases that can be pulled open with little effort cannot be brought aboard the aircraft.

No one gets weird when checking in firearms, be it NFA or not. The baggage check in folks ask you to sign this, look at your check in and say have a good flight. TSA has never bothered me.

I am a fan of saying things with pictures. These pictures are from my vacation this May.

That's two handguns, two silencers, a short barrelled AR-15, and just under 7 lbs of ammunition. That little tag in the lower right corner of the case is the firearms declaration affadavit. You advise the counter person you are checking firearms. You fill out the affadavit. You wait politely until they tell you to open the case. You stick the tag in and lock the case. They take it to the TSA, and you wait for them to run it through the scanner.

The end.

TSA has never asked me any questions. They care that I have followed the proper procedures for transporting a firearm on a plane. They care that my case is locked. Other than that, they just don't care. This is in 12 years of flying multiple times a year with NFA guns while the TSA has been in existence. I've had a harder time getting my kid's security blanket and bottle of apple juice through the TSA than my guns.
