Log Your Firearms!

It's time for...

!! SILVERBULLET's TIP OF THE WEEK !!

Do you have a log of all the serial numbers for your firearms? What would you do if you looked in your gun safe one day only to find that your guns have been stolen? What information would you give the police to help them find your stolen property? These are the things you need to think about!

My advice to every gun owner is to make an excel document (Google Drive works well) and record the serial numbers for each and every gun you own. Have a short description of the firearm, including color, accessories, and maybe even a picture. The more details you provide, the better! 

I use Google Drive as a backup just in case something happens to my computer hard drive. Plus, this allows me to access my list anywhere from my mobile phone. Some feel like uploading their information to a cloud-based server is vulnerable to hackers. So if you feel this way, then write all of your information down on a piece of paper and put it in a safe deposit box. There are literally hundreds of ways you can safely store this information. If you have excellent documentation of your firearms, the chances of them being found and returned is increased drastically. Hopefully you never have to deal with this, but it never hurts to be prepared.
