First off, I am not entirely clear why the VA was inspecting my home. As I understand, it had to do with my wife wanting them to install a handicap rail in the shower so I don't fall and kill myself (before you laugh too hard, it does happen). So, for some reason the VA had some woman inspecting my home this week.
I am away most of the year; however, of the questions they asked were questions about firearms. My wife told the inspector that they were in my safe and it takes two people to open it. Why two people? And yes, that was asked.
Apparently my wife told the inspector that the process was so complicated that it took one person reading the instructions and the second doing it. The inspector asked if all the firearms in the house were in it, and the answer given was yes. At that point the inspector pointed out that having all the firearms in an unopenable safe wasn't going to do much good if they actually needed a gun. My daughter then selt safe in revealing that her makarov wasn't in the safe (her Makarov! . . . HER MAKAROV!!! no, My Makarov! . . . but I digress. . . ). We didn't get marked down for that. Apparently the only thing I lost points on was that I haven't gotten around to actually bolting the safe down . . . good news, the handrail installer is going to do that for me (hard work may pay off in the future; but procrastination pays off now).
It just seemed odd that the inspector actually wanted to see the safe. Apparently with my wifes description of the process of opening it; no, there was no request to see in it. It is a Liberty safe of some sort.
