Home inspection by the VA, they asked about firearms.

Plain case of government overreach. If a bathroom renovating company asked those questions, you might be worried they were casing the house for a future burglary.

Uhh, whose to say they weren't asking for the possibility of a future confiscation???

I donno what safes you’ve been playing with. I’ve yet to see one that wouldn’t stand with the door open. Even if the door has loaded pistol pouches and nothing inside.

I have to agree with SamT1. I can't imagine some company making a safe that could fall over if the door was opened. It sure would make a dangerous situation where there are bunch of safes out in a showroom for people to look at before purchasing. Also how do you bolt it down if it falls over when you open the door?

BINGO !! If the safe did that, the manufacturer would be liable for a defective design and making a dangerous product.

Yea, ask Ikea about large items that fall. Or ask any manufacture of a tall chest that can fall under the right circumstances.

 

[Coop45]

Uhhhh.... I think you missed the sarcasm. Why would you need to bolt down something far too heavy to carry off in the first place?

I live near the Rock Island Arsenal. At Memorial Field they have a Sherman tank that was knocked out during the Battle of the Bulge. It is chained to the ground. Guess they don't want anyone to carry it off...

Oh, for some Whitey's Ice Cream.

I am a 100% disabled Combat Marine. EVERY SINGLE time I go to the VA they ask about guns or suicide. When you know the questions you can give the RIGHT answer.

Same here. Most of the time I can see the form, on the computer, that she is reading off. I just "nope, nope, nope." It is a required check box for her.

As far as the safe falling over, I hate to say it; but yes, when the door is opened, if empty, it will unbalance and topple forward. It is a low end Liberty safe (a solid step up from the gym locker style, but still not top end).

As far as the VA knows about me, I hate firearms. And don't own any.

 

[Glockula]

if they are there to inspect for safety, I could see why they would want it bolted. Open the door on an average gunsafe, and its pretty quick to fall on its face. If that door open more than 90 degrees, if could easily kill someone.

Not as full as mine is. Why keep an empty safe?
