Unfortunately I had a not so positive experience with Osseo related to SBR's and Suppressors. Apparently to shoot a suppressor or SBR there you need to show your papers. Ya know, all those illegally acquired suppressors are showing up all the time at gun ranges. Feels really crappy. I ask why they are auditing those when anyone from off the street can shoot a gun with just an ID but I have to prove that I've acquired my suppressors legally? They said they have to be really careful with ATF regulations. I get that they are protecting themselves, but it's hard for me to be on their side when they have 2nd amendment stuff(cold dead hands, tyranny, fear the gov't, etc) all over the place. Additionally they almost didn't allow me showing digital copies. One of my stamps was submitted/approved online and is only available electronically - so not sure how that's supposed to work.
I think there are some overreaching ATF folks out there that are threatening pulling licenses if they don't comply.
Once I was on the line the RO was very pleasant - but getting to that point was painful.
On the other hand I have had a sig braced AK pistol at Osseo previously and wasn't given a 2nd look.
