just picked up my first restricted firearm. a sig p226r in .22 and have a question about my att that i am hoping somebody can help me with.

in the conditions of my att it says that i must have my registration certificate with me while the fire arm is being transported. when i picked it up from p+d i still didnt have the registration but they faxed my transfer cert with the short term att which had the registration number and all of the pistols info. both the short term and long term att's have the same conditions. is simply having the registration number and my transfer certificate enough or am i risking trouble taking my sig to the range. i would call the cfc but its too late to call for going to the range tommorow. any experience with this anyone?
 
Usually takes about a week to get the cert in the mail. Just wait for it.

Also, since it's rimfire - don't dryfire it at home.
 
You are required to produce a registration certificate upon the demand of a peace officer. If ever the certificate is demanded but you fail to produce it the peace officer may seize the firearm until such time as you produce it.

I have never had a peace officer demand to see my registration certificate.

THIS GUY is the right answer. Otherwise your firearm could be seized on the way home from the store, and believe me, if they could they would be waiting outside of handgun stores just for this purpose. The transfer notice IS the registration certificate until the registration certificate arrives to replace it. The transfer notice is a certificate showing the registration information (GOOD ENOUGH) EVEN MORE than the registration certificate because the certificate does not even have your name on it (on the actual certificate, not just on the letter that surrounds it), but the transfer does.

If they issue you an ATT to take it home using only the transfer notice (on which it says you may take possession of the firearm provided you get an ATT if it is restricted), then you can certainly use that transfer notice utilizing your LTATT for target practice purposes.

+1. Also, have you often had your vehicle searched by the police? I know of a fellow who once forgot his ATT at home, went back to get it, passed several police cars on the way, and not one of them used their laser vision to see there was no ATT in the car. Now I keep the papers right in the case ;)
 
"...long term att's..." You have one? The ATT you got to take the pistol home doesn't allow you to take it shooting. You must belong to a club and have the long term ATT for that.
