It's more about being proactive and using one's intelligence and common sense than anything else. If you choose to ignore the possibility that not having these documents can get you into trouble; then don't whine and complain when some anti-gun ATF Agent does call you out and provides you with a nice set of chrome handcuffs until they can clear up the issue.
It's akin to skydiving without a reserve parachute: I WOULD RATHER HAVE IT AND NEVER NEED IT, THAN NEED IT AND NOT HAVE IT!! It's the same reason I carry a concealed handgun everywhere I go (legally, of course).
FWIW, I have a color copy of my Form 1 and any other forms I may need to be able to transport my SBR in my i-Shot case. That way the SBR never goes anywhere without these.
