Hey guess what? If they signed off on you would be hard pressed to find a judge to put you away.. see; the state made a mistake. Worst case confiscate the gun, or sell out of state. Example- In the 80's Joe Poyer filled with BATF to import about 200 Aussie L!A1's. ATF approved this after receiving a sample. Guess what, they were real L1A1 uppers, w/o the safety sear, right pistol grip and selector full auto. Replacing (2) easily attainable parts and adding the 3rd will make a real machine gun (being a sear cut receiver). ATF realized this after the fact, tried to stop the sales. Poyer sued.. Guess what he did not go to jail for what would be 200 -thats 200 unregistered machine guns. What did happen is that he was allowed to sell his guns and the aft has a serial number range along with a letter attesting you can own it. This make these guns the most desirable L1A1's in America. So, no jail, not even confiscation, so there are exemptions to illegal guns if you followed the appropriate rules and paperwork.
Anyone willing to hang their hat on that legal case is out of their mind and will likely be out of their money AND property at the end of about 6-10 years of court cases.
You might very well argue an entrapment case or get a judge/jury who decides MSP did wrong and will let you slide. There is nothing saying they will return your illegal property and nothing saying you wont have several thousand dollars in legal fee's hoping to find a sensible judge and appeal panels.
At your own risk as the saying goes.
