They did supposedly blow the barrel out of the receiver though the action did not technically fail and that would be atleast poop inducing.
Great ideas guys but as often as guns change hands with me I am afraid I'd report a gun of mine stolen after selling it to someone else. Some of mine that are keepers I do have annotated. As to the safe, anyone know where I can get a 200gun safe? Academy doesn't keep them in stock...LOL
A dog,....a GOOD dog is great for preventing theft. Personally, I'm trying to get my armory finished so it would take so much work and make so much noise to get to the guns that it would be too risky to steal them.
Right now, my only comfort is knowing it would take a U-haul and several people to clean me out and other than a few of the guns the really valuable stuff would be hard to move and raise allot of questions.
Thief: so you guys want to buy a couple of old pilot suits
Pawnbroker: What country are they
Thief: Uh...I don't know
Pawnbroker: Where'd you get them
Thief: Uh ya, they been in the family for a hundred years and stuff, would ya gimme $20
And then there are those little things that are worth more than the guns but look worthless to non collectors. Like that crappy looking bayonet that's worth $600 vs the new shiny cool looking one worth $25. They'd surely take the $300 riot gun over the $2,000 Jap Paratrooper.
Even worse, if they tried to get rid of it the good stuff at a local gunshow, every dealer in the show would send them to me.
I own firearms not to fight against my government, but to ensure I will not have to.
