Re: Stolen NFA items

Your bad luck with stuff getting stolen reminded me I need to find my pictures showing serial numbers of my guns and cans. I had them on a CD and with moving that CD is who knows where. We were in our camper in the mountains for almost a year. My brain got foggy over which box held what for a small item like a CD.
I don't think I realized how all my stuff had a place in our former house. It might be on a corner shelf somewhere but I knew where stuff was at. If I move again it will be away feet first.
I got most gun stuff now in a 900 lb gun safe bolted to the floor but still a determined thief could make a haul of it. If the CD doesn't show up soon I'll have to take the time to take pictures again.
Home defense is a cheap, but dependable Hawk 982 pump 12 ga and an equally cheap, dependable 44 bulldog in hiddy holes on either end of our house. My wife has a Taurus Judge (would not recommend it for anything but buckshot) in her nightstand with buckshot. The rest of our guns are in the safe. I thought about putting a can on a hose gun but that would be the one a thief would find if we were not at home. No kids around. We have a monitored alarm system too but it takes at least 20 minutes for emergency services to get to our place.
My ears are still ringing from the last time I shot inside a house. I set a target on our back deck and shot through an open door from the opposite wall. I see these characters on TV shooting inside a house and a car and know it is fake from experience.
