Yep. Burns up ~2 minutes of my year. But I can travel to 10 states with no advance notice. 😎
The Form 1, Form 4, and 5320.20 all exempt silencers (and AOWs) from requirement permission to travel. What in the world are they checking for? The F1/F4 itself?

I guessing where the laws around hunting with suppressor and night vision hunting have been changing in SC over the last couple years it just puts a little extra attention on you. The couple I know that had interactions with the DNR guys said they're not checking for forms or copies of stamps, just asking do you know where/when/how that's legal to use in SC and then going over checking license, tags, safety vest, etc. Maybe it's just the local guys here but most people I know hunting with a suppressor aren't putting a 6 inch long suppressor on a 20in rifle barrel and then going out moving through the woods, they're all running 10-15in barrel sbrs and those as far as I know are required to notify for travel out of state.
No more than any other law enforcement, if they thought there was anything wrong they'd just do like sheriff's office and refer it over to BATFE for investigation.
The cool thing about the internet, you're free to believe whatever you like. But you are required by law to do it, you did agree to do it and be bound by the laws around the items you purchased or manufactured and there are penalties for getting caught. Other than the cost of a postage stamp it's free so....
MGs, SBRs, SBSs and DDs require 5320.20s. Silencers and AOWs do not.
