Ive read several threads on THR talking about peoples' various safes, gun rooms, etc. Ive seen some nice architectural plans and lots of nice pictures that you all have posted over the last several months.
But here's my question: Here in NY, and possible in many other states as well, any construction that takes place on your own property must be inspected, and the proposed plans be kept on file with with your local town or village. So, any safe room you might construct to guard/safehouse your firearm collection and ammo stockpile is a matter of public record. Now, your average criminal would probably not take the time to read up on the plans. However, and the greater (long-term) concern is that the government might have access to them, and thus full knowledge of one's precautions. Do any of you file these plans? Do you modify them "after-the-fact"?
Given that the 2nd Amendment was certainly written from a perspective with an eye towards defending oneself against an aggressive intrusive government, and a possible disarmament, the fact that any precaution I might take is publically available makes me nervous. I have always complied with the law... but this is an area i would be tempted to deviate.
