Absolutely! Afterward, the 'paperwork' stays safe in the gun safe. A copy of said paperwork goes out with the weapon when it goes to the gun range...:-)
I see you are well versed in nuance. A very important aspect of gun and gun paraphernalia ownership in this day and age. I have a good friend who's son has a manufacturers license and thus I am able to be lectured and educated on legal nuance. All for my own protection, as the law is nuanced such that one little mistake could make you a felon faster than you can blink.
Not an ideal situation, but one that has come about by the blind and sometimes evil nuancers who are hell bent on protecting the so called law abiding, and in so doing are bringing the law abiding into the nuance net designed to protect them from evil scoff laws who don't give a nuance about nuthin. Thus, legal nuance ought to be a high school required subject long before recess and shorthand.
