26u.s.c.6103 and requirement to show local law enforcement confidential NFA documents

[jason8844]

So, I could have identified myself to the cops and shown them confidential paperwork the rest of my life, or I could put my foot down and stand up for my rights...Guess what type of person I am.

I understand that Form 1s, 4s and even 5s are confidential as they are legally tax returns, but is that protection extended to the non-taxable forms like the manufacturer and dealer to dealer forms as they are not tax documents but rather supportive material of a federal license? I also find you catch more flies with honey than vinegar.

Instead of taking the opportunity to inform a LEO about Form 3s, you chose to fight it in court and waste time and money. In the end, the LEO probably learned nothing and your wallet is a little lighter. I guess the only good thing to come out of this is that you have a cool mugshot to put on a T-shirt.
