[RumRunner]

Yup, got both here too.

 

[Knob Creek]

Me too. On a positive note I can always say all my guns were washed away in the 2023 flood.

 

[1776]

I'm talking all my wood stocks off, so they don't float down the street

 

[LuvDog]

Got that too and immediately thought of the mill. Hopefully no one has a leaky roof because they certainly don't need any more hassle or people poking their noses in where they don't belong.

 

[EddieZoom]

This one was pretty dumb...but don't forget the last one that involved thier fax machine going offline...

Can't make this sh@t up.

 

[MisterHappy]

It's the AR-7's time to shine!

Hey, might be able to have a boating accident in my own house, and without a boat

hmmm, so I can strap my AR-7 to my back and tell them it's a life preserver?

Possibly, in more ways than one.

This brings back memories, back in the mid seventies I bought an M1A receiver from a Gunshop in Fallbrook, CA. shortly after I picked up my receiver a dam broke and the shop got flooded. The owner of the shop on the way out the door pushed his bound book and the book with the 4473's into the water.
He notified ATF and all they said was keep them on a higher shelf.

So ... LEE is hitting New England now?

Did the automated call say something like "press any numeric key to hear an important message"? I've gotten a couple of those lately (including one about a half hour ago) but was afraid to continue, thinking it might be a scam of some kind. I did receive an email as well.

I lt likely is, and don't call me Shirley

 

[Redbeard22]

I told the ATF that my paperwork and my firearms are both secured on my boat. Ready for the flood.

 

[T-Unit]

In a 72 gun Liberty Safe no less.
