[QUOTE="JR777, post: 3580911, member: 45725"] Don't worry, it's not true. It's kind of true when it comes to FFLs and licensed manufacturers, but it hasn't been like that since the 1986 legislation. For individual owners of NFA items, though, they cannot just come in your house and start poking around. They have to have a warrant. If they're there in the first place though you probably have bigger issues, because it likely has to do with something you sold that ended up at a crime scene. That's the most common reason people get visits from them. An ATF agent can demand to see your tax stamp, and you're required to show it to him. Doesn't even mean you're required to keep it with you, although that's a good idea. You're just required to furnish it as soon as possible to prove the item is legal. This has never come up though, and I don't know anyone who's had it happen. You're more likely to get hassled by fuds at the range. [/QUOTE]
