On the authorization specifically, no. Once you have it, you can bring the firearm back. Then there are other authorizations that have to be filled out by your gun club. Because of this, virtually every firearms club in the country has a club secretary who does nothing all year long but wheel through bales of paperwork, applying for authorizations to transport on behalf of the members of the club.
