    Hermitage liked post by Coop On thread : Is it okay to bolt my ammo safe on top of my gun safe?

    Hermitage liked post by timattalon On thread : Requesting Suggestions for Rifle Shipping
    Legally that may be the case, but I know every gunshop that I have sent through required the form before they accepted it. They need to know the recipient purchaser has a FAL. It may sound silly but...
