So seriously considering getting a C&R license because, to be honest, I'm getting addicted to commie guns. I'm almost saddened that I broke my streak with a Taurus recently.
Anyway, I saw in the rules as such that ATF can make an annual visit to check you out, or drop by if they think you're doing something they might complain about which, let's face it, is all the time.
I don't have anything to hide, but I also can't afford--monetarily or structurally (I'm on a second-floor apartment) a big stout gun safe. I'm also just generally opposed to people demanding to root through my stuff.
Right now, my rifles are rendered inoperable (bolts removed and locked elswhere) and in the corner of my closet. One pistol is treated the same, another is in the bedside drawer, and the third is on my person.
So, how likely is a visit from the BATFE? If you're visited, is the safe mandatory? If so, would one of the $150 ones from big-box stores pass muster?
I tried to find this on the website, but after a couple paragraphs of the rules, my brain just went into 'uh-durrr' mode.
