Here in NC, we nearly got burdened with a law that required accountability for any and every firearm if stolen. The victim of the crime would have been charged with a crime for any arm stolen and not reported. Luckily, due to GRNC and folks standing up for their rights, we avoided that legal nightmare.
Still, it planted a seed in my head that it might not be a bad idea to keep a record. I have enough arms to conceivably forget one or two if some such crime or disaster happened. I certainly can't remember serial numbers. I keep receipts, but I don't have one for every gun.
Having a C&R, I got to thinking that the bound book format might be a good way to keep a record of my non-C&R arms as well (Keeping a separate book for non-C&Rs of course). I keep my C&R bound book in a computer spreadsheet, and make both electronic and paper backups. (Technically, between me and the ATF, it's an electronic backup to the physical bound book, then a backup of that file. But that's just semantics. It's three copies of the same data in three different physical locations).
Other than FFL requirements, do any of you keep a record? If so, any good ideas?
