Just wondering have you ever had a firearm stolen from you guys

[@vickeviking66]

Not long ago (like half a year) two guys stole a gunsafe here in Sweden. They took it to there garage to open, they took there angle grinder and started cut it open, the owner to the safe had four pounds of gunpowder in the safe for reloading, the thing exploded and blew the leg clean of one of they guys. You got to love Karma

[@nrm3247]

Clean them, oil/grease them, tell them you love them and will miss them, place them in a safe at the back of the closet with room for them to breath and a couple descant bags. Make sure you bolt your safe to something so no one can steal them. Then build a false wall in the back of your closet with 16-22” centers. Next, cut out a door somewhere in your new wall and build shelving on it to conceal your entrance. Hinges on the inside are easier to hide but mind what side you place them on. Check on them regularly to make sure no one is getting lonely. Thanks

[@DobermansRock]

That is the perfect plan. I got swatted a while back and they be lined for my safe, cracked and stole everything I had. These days its not so much burglars. Its the government we need to hide stuff from.

[@DobermansRock]

That would be your local SWAT team. Look what they have done to us at Waco twice, Weaver and the worst was Miller vs the US. Because, Miller vanished and so did our rights. Want to know more about it. Read "Unintended Consequences" By John Ross. If you own guns you need to read it. Just a vet who called a friend. Had some suicidal thoughts. I got half the towns police department here when they heard Vet with guns. Talk about a mess in life. If my stuff had been hidden instead of in my safe. They wouldn't find anything with their magnets. When I get my rights and my stuff back. It will never be in a safe again. Hide away safes are best. Painting on the wall, coffee tables, hell anything you can dream up that nobody would know. Or think to look. Be safe.

[@niceonesherlock9633]

[@virgosintellect]

Could happen after the 19th goes

[@pwnyou2295]

Less regulations, but more stringent ones. Many developed countries have guns everywhere (e.g. Slovenia, Iceland, Czech Republic), but little gun crime because they vet all potential gun owners. Bans on semi-automatics are ineffective, just compare Australia to New Zealand. In every experiment, you need a control group. Australia banned semi-automatics, whilst New Zealand only put a magazine capacity limit (still unnecessary though). Both saw reductions in crime and suicide rates throughout the late 90's to today. In the end, it reflects that something else drove the rates down, not restrictions on guns.

[@blarfroer8066]

@@brianandrews2519 that's just straight up bs. There are 2,5 million privately owned firearms in Switzerland, compared to about 300 million in the US. Granted, that the US is a tiny bit bigger than Switzerland, but still, there are about 0,3 firearms per inhabitant, whereas in the US, it's almost 1. Also, owning firearms in Europe means a lot more training and really thorough checkups before you can own one, so idiots and street thugs can't really get their hands on one.

Still missing 16 guns. They tore the floor out of the house that it was bolted down to . The safe was found in the next county with the back cut out of it. These guys were watching the stores that sold the safes ,and following people home then watching their habits. The detectives finally listened to me and checked out some guys that were selling gun parts . Turned out their sale list was matching a dozen or so safe robberies in the aria. All the safes were purchased at the same store over a six month time frame.

I've had a Liberty Lincoln for 20 years and I outgrew it about 10 years ago. I was fortunate enough to be able to keep that safe and purchase a much larger one.

In the UK police come out and inspect gun cabinets to ensure they are securely fitted to the wall. For bolt guns the bolts have to be stored in a separate locked cabinet and they can call over unannounced for an inspection, if your wife doesn't have a license she better not tell them she knows where the key is.

[@joen9087]

That sucks

[@SuperJohn12354]

That seems like over kill, in Australia you need a safe that's dyno bolted down and you give the police a copy of the plans of the house and where the safe is located, this is because we have domestic violence issues so if the police are called to you house they know fire arms could be involved and where to locate and secure them.

[@Doellimann]

I’m a sport shooter for over 10 years and living in Germany. Over here it’s pretty normal to store your guns in a safe separate from your ammunition. My guns are stored in a weapons safe, ammunition in a separate one, eben my airguns are stored in a steel closet. Every one of them is bolted to the walls and floor of the basement with heavy duty screw anchors (about 10 tons each) and some of the safes are bolted to each other. And if this isn’t enough, my safes are Locke’s up into a separate room with a fire door... I have a peace of mind about that issue!

Beware of unscrupulous movers. My safe was dropped during a move. When the mover arrived, my safe wasn't even tied down in the truck. It was only wedged between wardrobe boxes. One side of the safe was badly scratched and the enamel chip from raising it with a hand truck. The moving crew was one guy for a 550 pound safe. His total equipment was a $20 dolly to get the safe into the house. We only got the safe in the house with my plywood and my wooden blocks to scale the one step. Without the plywood and blocks, it would of been left in the driveway. One of the tile of the walkway into the entrance cracked from the dolly, not a cheap fix. If the safe would of fell on the dial, it would of been junk.

The Liberty Safe mention didn't age well lol

[@bobbybrooner]

Great video Eric and Chad. A good follow up would be how to securely relocate a large collection when you're moving to a different location.

[@kwalkrkcco4397]

Good stuff guys. I need to check into finding some of the rifle rods you showed, seems like a great idea.

[@dt-4535]

I feel like this video's a little overdue.

[@marcuschauvin7039]

Agreed

[@WitchyWagonReal]

I really feel like it has been done by Eric... but, hey maybe not? Either way, it’s timely now, so... that good.

[@NoblesTx]

Right! They can literally do a 5 part series on this by just taking the time to talk about and show different things

[@kylethedalek]

Toby Wallace why ? What if they force everyone to store their guns ? I know people who leave them out for defensive and display purposes and never been an issue. You shouldn’t need to worry about someone breaking into your house, So going with logic I take it you keep tobacco, alcohol and drugs locked up? Since they are more dangerous, or your car even?

[@m9a323]

the only thing the fire department will save is your foundation get the best safe you can afford

[@gordongekko9469]

Got 1 in a lock box behind my nightstand and one laying right beside me while watching you guys

[@45SIG58]

Honestly guys, one of your best videos. Thanks

[@cornpopwasabaddude69]

Concealment is more effective than a big safe. You can get into any safe, but if you don't even know where the safe/cubby is?

[@mrfuriouser]

Dude, is your profile pic a Chevy Vega Kammback, 1972 maybe??? Pretty cool, man! Did you throw a 350 in it? Anyway, I dig it, brother. The green is cool, too.

[@paintballjunkie65]

"Alot" of people do not have firearms insurance. Where did he get that idea? Im with Chad on this one.

[@bystander665]

TheCodFather you can get it through the NRA, if I remember right you can get $7,500 worth of coverage for $63 a year

[@flmoto2381]

bystander66 That’s pretty good, I think it’s important to have insurance on your firearms.

[@mephInc]

@@bystander665 You can also get fancy new gun laws through the NRA for free.

[@christorres5605]

Great video guys. Really loved it and appreciate all of the education

[@edrosa3485]

Thank you, lots of helpful information!

[@cornpopwasabaddude69]

Now in Washington if someone steals one of my guns i get a felony for it.

[@kpags5670]

J&K I hear ya. NY is same way. Starting to see a lot of videos on states implementing different anti gun laws and the people’s outrage to go with it. Sad thing is, us people in NY under dictator cuomo have dealt with those laws since 2013. We can’t get him out of office because of NYC.

[@biggusdickusiv5883]

@@kpags5670 you could, but nobody would shoot a commie for the sake of liberty anymore

[@electrichellion5946]

That’s a grate law. Punish the good guy not the criminal.

[@cornpopwasabaddude69]

Yup i-1639. It was ushered in under the guise of making schools safer, but all it did was make it a FELONY to have your firearm stolen regardless of the precautions taken to protect them. It's being ran up the state supreme Court circuit, and has not yet been interpreted. Several county law enforcement agencies have already made public statements stating they would NOT enforce this new law as it is unconstitutional and presents an unwarranted risk to the lives of officers and civilians alike. You guys are waiting for the war to start when it's already begun. Your rights are under assault. Do something about it.

[@LedzeppelinDogsGuns]

that is why you never ever register a gun

There's a delay with the view counter compared to comments and the rating system.

[@armondomazzucchi6233]

This is a lot of good info, thanks guys

[@xfirehurican]

Tip top video. Great clue on the gun rods! Tks!

[@howlingmine]

Fluid Film is BY FAR the best for long term storage. You guys can thank me now for not having to listen to Eric say "guys" 500 times in a 35 min video.

[@DeadBaron]

Anyone else see the irony of them discussing storage... in front of a wall of exposed, unsecure (no trigger locks, just sitting on hooks) guns just hanging off the wall?

[@davidmiller5708]

Great information. Thanks guys

[@jacobridgedell2096]

good thoughts! I haven't thought enough about the insurance, but I will look into it for sure now!

[@TexasLonghornRanch]

Please give a gun cleaning lesson to Mac at the military arms channel. Out right gun abuse happening over on that channel.

[@teddibear1943]

Those are the gauntlet guns. I am sure he babys the old, antique, historical ones just as we all would/should do. Please elaborate on which ones are of concern to you because of course I may be wrong.

[@taylormiller6903]

I like to use hoppes gun grease

[@DavidLLambertmobile]

I'd suggest Froglube, Break free museum grade, LPX/MPro7, Ballistol.

[@dustinLenn]

DL Lambert usually a hoppes man myself I’ll give it a try

[@avnrulz8587]

I have the C96 you mentioned in your 'guns we wish they still made'; I store it in a shadow box, with a trigger lock. Can't wait to get back and bring it out.

[@DS-gd1xw]

A lot of great points. Thank you Gentleman !
