Say I want to "vacation" to another NFA friendly state with my SBR. I need to file a 5320 with ATF, and have it approved..in my hand first? And then does it have certain term limits? Like from this date to that date only kind of thing? Educate me please!

For an SBR, yes, you must have the approved 5320.20 in hand before traveling interstate. You can submit it to cover your travel to that state/area for up to a year at a time. Many folks submit their papers in October/November to cover all possible travel for the upcoming calendar year.

| i have an SBR and i want to travel from Connecticut to Vermont and i'll have to go threw Mass, do i need one for that state or does the interstate comerse laws cover me as long as i'm not making a prolonged stay there? in the "mode of transportation i would just say personal vehicle"? |

No, you just submit one for your destination, not for any states you pass through. You are covered by FOPA as long as the firearm is unloaded and inaccessable (locked in a case in the trunk is good) and your posession of that firearm is legal in both the state of origin and the state of your destination. I always drive VERRRRRY carefully when passing through the People's Republic of Massachussets, though.
Yes, "personal vehicle" is fine. For the reason, I use "recreational shooting" and it goes right through. |

I will also mention that you can use a seperate list of firearms if you want to list more than can be fit on the form. I list everything I own, so I have permission to take anything I might think of at the last minute. Remember- just because you have permission to transport it doesn't mean you have to.
Make the list using the same format that the Form uses, staple it to the Form and write "See attached list" in the section where the items would normally go. I make out the forms for my regular travels complete with all information, but leave off the last digits of the year. At the beginning of each calendar year, I pull a couple of copies out, write in the correct year, and I'm done. |
