[QUOTE="Schlafftablett, post: 4009336, member: 47874"] Any level of law state chartered law enforcement is empowered to detain citizens on suspicion of violating state or federal level felonies. Being in possession of an NFA firearm is broadly illegal under both State and Federal law unless registered with the ATF. Having your items properly registered with the Federal Government not only makes them legally possessed federally, but is a positive defense against state charges in accordance with The Constitution. If you fail to produce said paperwork on demand you have, by extension, not proven to the law enforcement officer that you are in compliance with federal law. This leaves you open to detainment or arrest under state charges until such time as it is proven that you are innocent of those levied charges. With that said, I've found that most cops aren't going to give you crap if you make their lives as easy as possible. If I was ever asked to produce paperwork, I'd just let the officer know I don't have it but would be more than happy to produce it if they'd care to accompany me to my house. I think most would just take that at and probably decide the juice wasn't worth the squeeze and let you roll. [/QUOTE]
