I was wondering since I just went through a possible disaster. I keep all the serial #s, manuals and gun paperwork in one giant ziplock bag in a cupboard with my financial records. That way I can grab it all at a moments notice.
Got your stuff ready? What if there's a fire? If you can get the gun stuff quick it leaves more time to save the kids, pets and wife.

I have all the numbers, descirptions and estimates on my laptop, on my popcket PC, and on a CD-ROM that I burn along with digital pictures that I keep in my office (updated every couple of months).

In the same files, I also have pictures of everything in my house along wiht a detaile list of most of my property.  If my house were to burn down or something, it would be a very convenient thing to have for the insurance company.

Now see.  That is why you need to keep receipts handy in case of a boating accident.  This way it is easy to give  the inforamtion to the insurance company.

I keep one copy here at home, two copies in a file drawer at work, one hard copy and one on disc.  I also keep a file on everything that has a serial number also, lawn mower, saws, tv's etc.  It's a JBT thing.

No docs, no records...I watched Red Dawn.  



In Red Dawn they got the records from the FFLs so unless you bought all yours private....

We were having this conversation at supper.

Mother-in-law asked about insuring guns, led to discusion of serial numbers and privacy. Wife said guns are on record with dealers...

I said "what guns?".

Iowa does not require record keeping for private transactions. The only guns I own are the ones I want to admit to. Sold a few, lost a few, got this here 10/22 and a .38...


Serial numbers are safely tucked away.
