I mailed a Form 1 off on August 15th to chop down an old double barrel shotgun I had, and left the gun leaning against the wall in my dad's shop. A month later, I was hit on my motorcycle by a drunk driver, and am recovering at my brother's house in a different state for reasons of mobility (hard to negotiate stairs with a shattered pelvis and arm). I'm in grad school, so my parent's address is my permanent one as I intend to return to my hometown when I'm out.
So here's my question - suppose my stamp comes back before I'm healthy enough to return home and my dad is in possession of an registered SBS that isn't an SBS yet. Could that be an issue legally? The gun hasn't been touched yet, it is still in its original configuration - 30 inch barrels and all - but now it is in the registry as a NFA item.
This is for academic purposes. On a practical level, the chance of it ever becoming an issue is slim to none, but it poses an interesting question that I haven't found an answer for. What do you guys think? Is it an SBS once it is cut down, or is it an SBS once the paperwork is done?
