Just wondering If anyone out there keeps records of there firearms for theft or insurance purposes. I recently heard of some stolen firearms being found by a shop that had to fit new bolts and due to the owner giving pictures and serial numbers to the police the guns were found. I recently recorded all mine. Paranoia or warranted after all the recent firearm thefts?
There is a site run by the police where you can record numbers and photos.
Really? Got a link?Quote:

I have my own (and as overseas a employers insurances) records so am unlikely to use it myself.
When doing the interview for my E endorsement the vettor asked if I would like to register the makes and serials of all my firearms for police records, to which I politely declined. Cloud stored photos+info sounds good for insurance purposes.
Snap user here too.
What are they going to do with a photo and a number?
Much easier just to follow people home from the range.
Or the shop. Or follow vehicles with personalised license plates that scream "I shoot guns !" Oh wait, that's what happened...Quote:

Or an NZHS sticker on the back of your car?
If Police wanted to disarm firearms owners, surely it'd be easier to look at the address of the FAL holder and then pay a visit?
Yes I'm sure the Police would simply accept the word of every FAL owner :DQuote:

hmm well when I renewed my fal the copper checked my safe and shit then took down all the serial numbers and makes and models of my
firearms .... is that normal ?
They might ask to record your A cat stuff, but you don't have to let them.
It is normal for them to want to but he should have asked and had your permission before he recorded anything. I have always been happy to provided the information to them.Quote:

Even if my PC & digital camera gets stolen or fire breaks out i still can access the pictures once i can log on.
So keep your eyes open for ppl observing you on the rnage and on the drive back, look for them again.......not that I'm paranoid...Quote:

As for that debt on the old account they shafted me on the cost to sell my wagon thought it was a one off listing fee with no success fees only to be sadly mistaken lol, but hey I got away with it for two years before they snapped me. Three things they hold on file a record of your firearms license, credit card and the IP address to your computer and internet providerQuote:
