I just do the front, all the needed info is right there.

I do both sides. I scan the forms to PDF, then print 1 page of 2 per page, and 1 page of 4 per page, cut out and laminate. I got a cheapo laminater and lamination sleeves off Amazon for 25 bucks last year. I keep the half-size forms in the range bag, and the quarter-size forms I usually roll up and stick in the stock, foregrip, or pistol grip. For example, I have a SBR with 2 uppers, and a can for each upper. The can form goes in the foregrip for each upper, and the SBR's form is in the stock, or pistol grip.
Probably overkill. |

Well, since mine are all in a trust, the back of the form is blank anyway.
I think the stamp and approval signature is the important part. I did a DIY laminating job with clear packing tape. |

I had a professional print shop shrink and laminate mine for free. That's because I have connections..................
They are all credit card size and live in my wallet. No way I can forget them. |

I only do the front side and print out the form via printer at 4x6 photo paper at high resolution print. It shrinks it to fit the 4x6. When I get all my stamps in, I'll laminate those 4x6 prints, punch a hole in the corner and put a ring binder on them.

I don't carry my stamps nor do I carry copies. Same as I don't carry my tax returns around. If I get into a spot where the stamps need to be seen it's not gonna be by some cop in a traffic stop.

Local range wants to see them, and I'd like to shoot there so I comply, but I'm not letting them make any copies or hold on to them. Local LEO wants to question it, and showing them a forms saves me a ride downtown for a contest I'll win in the long run, they can see them as well. Others here have a very different opinion of showing them. |

I think it's silly to get offended about showing "tax documents" but to each their own. |

A friend of mine was confronted by a real asshole at a local range that wanted to know if he had his papers. ......and when he asked him if he was employed there, he said no....My buddy just kept shooting. |

I have shrunken copies in my grips, but they're emergency use only if I somehow left my phone (with digital copies) or my binder at home.
The random guy at the range isn't going to see my forms. |

Neither does anyone who has asked to look at them up to this point. It is completely legible under magnification if there were a real need to see it. Funny how that works out.

Almost exactly what i do. Except i use an iron as the hear source. not pefect, but works well enough. |

Tribal land isn't even considered the US as far as things like possession of firearms and things like that from what I recall. So yea, you apparently got REAL lucky |

I have taken everything down to 2-sided credit card size and heavy laminated. I keep one with every item and a set on a ring for my range bag. Using the high end scanner/copier at work, everything remains legible on both sides. I have a friend who used to keep his forms on microfilm although I was always curious about how explaining that one to a bubba would go.

Most decent rifle cases have a big flap-type outside pocket.
Just print copies of your paperwork and stash it in that pocket in perpetuity. If a handgun, fold the paper so it fits between the foam and the clamshell pistol case. I really can't think of any place I would take such an item where I would not also have my gun case. Nothing needs to be "shrunk" or fancy-laminated. If you are worried about your papers getting wet, put them inside a ziplock. |

I used to make shrunken, laminated copies but organizing them was a pain, not to mention the cost of lamination.
Now I just put full-size copies in sheet protectors and then put them all in a 3 ring binder that goes in my range bag. |
