I am just checking whether the following is "reasonable" for storing firearms temporarily (~90 days or so), if say, you suspect an RO/PO coming down the pipe...
$1.00 per handgun, per day
$1.50 per long gun, per day
Now, if that is high, which I suspect it is (person would be better off liquidating most of the collection), I am not sure if there it time for a choice. Legal advice [who is an NRA Member] has stated that 'your friends' is NOT OK under these circumstances and you need a FFL to list out everything they took from you and you need that list when the man rolls up to your door and comes knocking as proof you have transferred all firearms out of your name (not that will prevent them tossing your home for good measure). It also goes a long way (apparently) in court. <sigh>
Bottom line, does anyone know of an FFL / Gunsmith in RI that may be able to make a better "deal" or is this really the going rate?
One other question: If this person receives an RO/PO, they are a PP during the time the RO/PO is in effect ONLY or are they screwed as a PP at that point going forward in perpetuity since they were served with a RO/PO? (Just seeing whether my friend needs to liquidate...)
