In the interest of being forthright, I have no desire to post the extent of my weapons collection on the net, nor would I really advise anyone else to do so. Your personal info and mine are too easily discovered with minimal searching, and I don't want people to know what I have.

I say this because I had my house broken into and a few weapons stolen. It had all the hallmarks of a job pulled by someone that knew me and knew what I had and had a good idea where I kept it. Since then, only very trusted friends have nay bust knowing what sort of weaponry I own.

I am not berating you in any way for posting yours, just offering a viewpoint on the dangers of letting the entire world know what sort of valuable, portable, and easily movable (as in easy to sell) items you own.

Oh, and remember, if you're not home, those weapons are no deterrent.

Friendly advice from someone whose collection would not fit into a few pictures, and who is still feeling the loss of his Sig-Sauer 229, Browning Hi-Power, and a few other guns.

When at my great grandfathers funeral, my family had dozens od antique guns stolen

Moonduck · 11-23-2003, 02:57 PM

I should probably mention that my family also lost a number of impossible-to-replace firearms during a move. When we PCS'ed from Ft Bragg to Germany, the movers claimed they had to pack the guns in a "special way" and thus left them out of the normal packaging. Well, needless to say, that "special way" was apparently to pack our guns (and TV's) into the trunks of their cars.

I lost a Colt Trooper that my Grandmother bought for me the week I was born, my first rifle (Ruger 10/22), and my father lost his first production series Ruger Super Blackhawk, a shotgun that was used by his great-great grandfather, and a war trophy German Mauser that his Granddad had brought back from WWI and gave to him.

The only thing that saved those movers from one unholy ass-kicking was the Atlantic Ocean being in the way. The saddest part was the Army rooked us on the insurance settlement and only provided enough money for my father to replace the Super Blackhawk.

Moral is never let anyone you don't trust implicitly know what you have and where you keep it.

Sad stories

I need to get the serial #'s from mine for my NRA insurance.

When I move, they'll be in my truck cab riding with me.

Moonduck · 11-23-2003, 11:52 PM

Yup, I have every serial number to all my firearms, and receipts for most of them (the non-gift and non-horsetrading ones)

basmoq · 12-02-2003, 09:08 PM

ouch, terrible stories, Thanks for the info though guys, I'd have never thought of such a thing. I guess it's a good thing I keep my guns dismantled and in 4 different locations(keep the kids out of them).

Always, always have a gunsafe if you're going to have guns. For the cost of one of your guns (~$500-$1000) you can get a nice safe that will keep most crackheads and looters at bay. The competent or determined thief will get them, but you can at least make them work for it. Just a tip.
