Is anybody aware of any case law regarding using the transfer confirmation as a de facto registration certificate? I've heard tell of both sides on the grapevince....some CFO's say you're fine to transport with the transfer confirmation others say if you're caught you go to jail. More legal ambiguity, who would have expected that?

I'm inclined to believe it is in fact a de facto registration certificate, based on the fact that firearms are typically shipped upon receipt of it. I'm not aware in law of a distinction being made for transporting a firearm without a registration certificate to a new owner. This practice, however, seems to be generally accepted as legal by CFO's and LE. Therefore, transfer notice must = registration certificate.
