No problem as long as the gun had been reported as stolen (or lost) in a

in most states.

That is true and I would even promote increasing the penalties for
possessing a stolen gun. In most places it will just be "property" and
one of the charges that gets traded away or simply absorbed in a
concurrent sentence.
You still might have the issue that people don't know their gun is
missing for quite a while. If this is a daily carry gun or something
you have hanging on the wall, it will be apparent right away but most
people are required by law to have their guns locked away.
I have one gun safe that I may not open more than once or twice a year
and it is far out of sight.



I would argue that as a responsible gun owner it is your duty to know
where your guns are at all times.

"Gee, I know I had a 1911 .45 around here someplace. Wonder were it went?"


Some of us do not take our guns out and caress them every day like
Harry.

I am in a state that requires that my guns be locked up and I do not
have any reason to actually get them out unless I am planning on going
someplace to shoot.
That might only be once a year with something like my skeet gun and I
haven't actually fired my .44 in 30 years.

What part of "I have one gun safe that I may not open more than once
or twice a year and it is far out of sight" is so hard for you to
grasp?

That's what I was wondering. In the Army, the guns in the arms room
are inventoried by serial number daily. I have to admit I don't open
my safe daily to inventory my weapons.

I doubt it really makes any difference unless you drop the gun.
Maybe you need a better example.

If you want to talk about most gun deaths, (suicide and acquaintance
murder) who owns the gun is not really significant at all. These are
not "who done it" crimes.

I heard on the radio yesterday, that something like 42% of suicides are
male with prostrate and testicular cancer mostly. But are Cancer victims.

Just read Grisham's recent book, "Sycamore Row". I won't give away the
ending, but it's not for someone who's suffering from lung cancer.

You are certainly talking about "taking away anybody's right to own
firearms". Then the question becomes "who gets to decide"?



Well, luddite already decided I shouldn't have one long ago.. Like most
libs, "good for me, not you"...


I think I said that if some of your comments made in this newsgroup were
reviewed by a permitting agency or by your local police department,
you'd have a problem being approved.

Hot heads who think everyone's out to get them shouldn't have guns.

We were not that tight on the ship. We did a count once a week when we
were doing magazine temperatures. I am not sure they ever did a serial
number verification. I know they were logged in but I doubt anyone was
actually worrying about the serial numbers of the ones on the rack as
long as the count was right.

You probably didn't have a dedicated armorer whose job it was to
inventory and repair weapons. We had an armorer at the company level.

Yup, still one there.

That raises the interesting question of how you are supposed to store
a home defense gun.

I think it's yet another "feel good" law.

Were weapons listed in there someplace?

In a safe when not under your direct control.

My handguns are all in a safe during the day unless I am using or
cleaning them.

At night, one of them is on a side table, within easy reach from my bed.

Yup. Pistols, rifles, machine guns. Lotta **** in a Combat Engineer
Company. That was a wheeled battalion. A mechanized company also has
APC's and lots more machine guns. Don't know if the mech company still
has the Combat Engineer Vehicle.

01 P98152 A PISTOL 9MM AUTO M9 2
01 R97175 A RIFLE 5.56MM M164A2E4

Oh, now they call what used to be the mechanized battalion, ENGINEER
COMPANY, ENGINEER BATTALION, HEAVY DIVISION/

http://fas.org/man/dod-101/army/unit/toe/05337F000.htm

Looks like they don't call them 'Mechanized Infantry' anymore.
