The Gander Mountain stores had a big sign over the safe and locker display- With rights come responsibilities.
Three of the twelve firearms (we didn't call them guns in the Army) were my grandfather's. They were taken in March, 1970. They are gone! If you have firearms do the following-
1. Photograph them.
2. Write a complete description of each one- manufacturer, model number, caliber/gauge, any accessories as slings, scopes. etc.
3. Keep a copy in a secure place at home and give a copy to your insurance agent. When we turned in our claim, we had to sue the insurance company as they claimed we didn't have the firearms.
4. WHEN they are stolen, the information is turned into a national listing. If you are extremely lucky, they MIGHT be found but don't count on it. IF they are old firearms and have no serial numbers, according to a gunsmith friend who tried to buy a rare firearm from the BATFE, they will be destroyed. He even offered to put a BATFE approved serial number on it but they refused.
I'm in the process of writing the new Hunter Education student manual for the state of TN. The old one we used had firearms in a rack in a closet with cable locks (locks are for honest people). The new manual has them in a safe. My plan is to show a picture with a safe and state why a safe is highly recommended.
