Doing an inventory

Wanted to update the inventory for insurance purposes, make, model, serial number, condition, who it is supposed to go to, all that. It’s been a while.

Made the mistake of letting the list lay on the kitchen table.

“Is this a list of all the shotguns you have ??? !!!”

Don’t be silly sweetheart, I’m not done yet.

Didn’t go over very well. I’m expecting a few new quilting dodads to enter the house.
 
I have only sold one gun that I purchased and have sold none that I was gifted or have inherited. Not a crazy high number, but there are a few in the safe that sometimes I forget I even halve. May next fall I will make a goal to take each one hunting at least once.

What's your point? You worried someone's gonna barge down your doors, break into your safe, and repossess them? If you're a law abiding citizen, you've got nothing to hide or worry about, ever.

Mine are all insured. They have a lot of monetary and sentimental value to me. Locked away in a fireproof safe until I use one.

Privacy has it's own rewards.

History has shown that governments, throughout time, will eventually seek to disarm it's own citizens.

That’s not true! I have a specialized policy that does not require me to list make, model or serial number, if I have a claim I only have to prove that I really owned the gun.
If the government were to impound the insurance companies records it would only show that I have guns, not what make or model they are.
If you have purchased a gun from a dealer since 1968 you have completed a Form 5573. If you have purchased a gun in the last 15 years or so you have completed a 5573 and they call in to check your ability to purchase the firearm or you have a card that you obtained through local law enforcement.
Unless you inherited your guns or bought them privately there is a record somewhere that you own them! Just by insuring them does increase your risk of unlawful seizure.
