Just reading through the forums this morn and seen more references of people having weapons in safe deposit boxes. I would never do this. It may be a fine safe place to keep weapons temporarily, but I stress temporarily. Even if you intend to keep them there forever, it's still only temp. Why? Because we have this tendency to die. When we do these items are passed along. This means they have to be removed. This is done under the watchful eye of the estate lawyer, 5% value please, who is also the watchful eyes of the state, another 5% please. Don't keep family jewery there either. It's down right insulting to pay 10% plus on the wedding of my mother, on whose finger it's been on and whose finger raised me since the early 50's. Realistically the accumlated "fees" could out weigh the actuall price of the piece. All values are determined by appraisal. How much did you pay for that Colt in 58 and how much is it worth now? What would 10% be worth to your Gov? WHAT IF YOU HAD TEN OR 20? I read about guys with 20 of the same model! My Mom's ring is worth more than any state sponsered extortion, but why put your family through it. But don't get me wrong..I'm not bitter!

PS I know that we are supposed to give over this info to the gov. as our riteful duty,but if the local gov's can have a buyback program for guns, and give you a wally world certificate for 50 bucks, than call it worth 50 bucks and keep it under the $1000 household goods alowance.
