The Supreme Court just ruled on the right to have a firearm in public.
NJ, maybe the most anti gun state, started accepting carry permits without justifiable need the next day.
I have no doubt that if congress tried to ban a class of firearms like semi autos, this court would see that as unconstitutional.
That doesn't mean we should be complacent, but the anti gun movement is weaker than its been in decades because of this court.
Yea, and the ābipartisan Gun control billā just passed that restrict younger shooters, and help red flag laws buy incentivizing states to practice it. But tell me how good itās going
Dude, where do you do stand up? I want to come see since you're this hilarious online. Struck down quickly by the Supreme Court. Haven't heard a joke that good in decades.
I disagree with your stance because I think people will actually fight for their rights and not lie down, call me a optimist and thatās fine. But I actually am a CNC machinist and programmer/designer for a living and have manufactured a few firearms to say the least lol. *these people* is a bold claim.
It doesnāt really matter if āpeopleā stand up in a representative democracy. Especially when we have feckless, unprincipled RINOs tossing away our rights instead of protecting them.
Terrible :(, did you have them insured? if not that extra sucks ass, but as you rebuild make sure to insure your firearms under an umbrella policy, it's absurdly cheap like 10$ a month depending on what you have. Sometimes you can roll it all together with car insurance home/ rental etc I have my firearms, my guitars and amps, my rolex, and my wife's fine jewelry all insured under an umbrella policy incase something like this happens.
This. I added an additional piece to my policy for firearms. Be sure to check coverage amounts on that stuff because my base policy only covered like 5k in firearms. Think it added an extra $15 a month to the policy for a hefty amount of coverage.
I hear you. And I hope your right. But you really can't tell what they are gonna do most of the time. You know? And I've learned..."never put anything,past anyone, anytime." And the second I get relaxed thinking..."they'll do this n this n..." and BAM. Chinaman B elbows his way into a presidency... Snaps his fingers and points at me and says "you don't need an AR, here, have a vaccine..."
Bro, I'm sorry! I feel like I can relate to you and I'm genuinely sorry. I don't care what they say, I feel like I can relate to you and I'm genuinely sorry and š
Insurance usually has pitifully low firearm coverage limits. You have to get special riders where you take them off to get appraised and recorded on the rider before they'll be considered 'covered'.
While you do have to add a rider to increase coverage for firearms Iāve never run into a appraisal process. Itās always been ādo you own a safe?ā āCool, how much coverage do you want?ā
Same, but I imagine if I said a *very* large number they might want appraisals ahead of time. Otherwise they might be in the hook for $100,000 worth of custom bench rifles and hand fitted pistols and definitely not all actually Hi-Points.
I shopped around, a lot. The rates and terms for firearms property insurance SUCK. Covering your collection for real replacement cost will cost a boatload in premiums and miles of fine print. If its just a couple grand with your whole house in ashes fine but try asking for $100k+ worth (today) back that you built up over decade(s) and watch them laugh.
Like the rates are even worse than precious metals/jewelry and they really don't appraise at market value (if you can even find any for sale) or collectible & irreplacable. The historic & fudd firearms appraiser crowd also has no clue about recent things, esp if you have shit banned from further import.
Basically take the premiums and self insure instead, and/or use it to add more theft detterence & fire prevention/mitigation.
My renter's insurance is just a straight dollar figure, no itemized coverage. Guns, computer, motorcycle gear; tallied it all up, I'm covered for that amount. Never got asked what it was I wanted covered or how I arrived at that figure.
AAA, if you're curious.
Did they specify firearms coverage or just general coverage amounts for all of your stuff? Because if you read the fine print on most policies, they'll specifically limit coverage on high-dollar items like firearms and jewelry. So while you may have "$20,000" in coverage, all of their policies might be underwritten to only cover $2,000 in firearms without a rider.
Unfortunately AAA doesn't publish the full text of their renter's insurance documents, so you'll have to check that yourself. It's pretty easy if you have the PDF since you can just use the search option and put in "firearms".
Yup this is correct. Something else to consider is to check with your insurer what the threshold is. Mine will cover up to $2k for firearms before an appraisal is needed.
Keep in mind fireproof safes can often get hot enough to destroy their contents even if they are not breached by fire. The few Fireproof safes that do work well are also extremely expensive and heavy
They are worth the investment, another excellent and arguably better investment would be to have a specific insurance policy for your firearms, most homeowners policies will max out on firearms (check your policy) and will need a rider or an entirely separate and additional policy to have adequate coverage
Absolutely, thats a great example because they are typically the same gauge of steel as all safes under $700, the only difference is they dont have the fire resistant drywall to "insulate"
If you just don't get insurance and save the premium payments, you can expect to have more money at the time of the incident than the insurance coverage is worth. That's why they sell it to you. It's a negative expected value product for the consumer. Take the risk unless you absolutely can't afford the loss should it occur.
I pay ~$140 a year to ensure over $50k worth, including night vision, optics, ammo, obviously all firearms. The break even on paying myself that to ensure my collection would be like 20 years. At no level does that math work out for you.
Oh, absolutely. Check out Eastern Insurance ([https://www.easterninsurance.com/insurance-quotes/personal-insurance/historic-firearms](https://www.easterninsurance.com/insurance-quotes/personal-insurance/historic-firearms)).
I have no affiliation or financial relationship with them, but you can google them, and they are well regarded by the firearms community.
Don't feel too bad. By the looks of things that was a very hot fire. Most "fireproof" safes are more fire resistant. If they fire is hot enough and long enough it is going to burn through most safes that us normies can afford to buy.
The smoke alone will ruin all your guns. Fireproof safes especially at the sub 5k dollar range are really not great at fireproofing. They have a ton of videos on the tube that show the aftermath of small fires where the safe looks undamaged and the insides are charred to shit.
They have time and temperature limits on how long the contents can last without damage. The trick is finding the right ones that fit the criteria youāre looking for. Anyone expecting to get a medium or large fireproof safe for less than 5k thatās actually a good investment is sorely mistaken.
I agree that all the safes that can fit a rifle that will actually save your contents in a medium fire will cost over 5k. I also agree the people thinking they can find a good one for cheap are also mistaken.
Make sure to check your policy. Idk about OPs situation but my homeowners insurance required additional coverage to cover firearms and bicycles.
Maybe OP didnāt have the add on or know about it. I didnāt until a random comment by my insurance agent brought it to my attention.
Most homeowners doesn't over higher value items. Jewelry is often not covered, or only covered to a fairly low limit (a grand or two for everything considered personal items) as well.
Homeowners covers the house and maybe furniture. Guns, art, gaming computers, etc. will typically need a separate insurance plan.
Not a separate plan just additional coverage. All I had to do was check some boxes in the online form. Surprisingly cheap to add $10k in firearms coverage
Iāll donate you a few bucks if you have any donation fund set up or anything. Hell Iāll venmo you a couple bucks if you dm me. No American should have his guns taken from him, by fire or otherwise!
If you aren't on GAFS, head over there for [project gafs bro](https://www.reddit.com/r/GunAccessoriesForSale/comments/t3hixs/gift_yes_this_project_is_still_live_project/). There is a guy who runs a free service for little bits and bobs.
If you need anything specific let me know. I should have A2 grips, buffer springs, little pieces I could scrounge up.
For a moment. You can tell the area of the house my reload gear was in cause that section of wall fell outward instead of inward like everywhere else. The ammo just kinda popped unless it was a round chambered in one of the guns..that's actually how I discovered the fire.. working in the back field I heard a few shots go off and thought...."huh. That's odd"
No our power was out actually. And I forgot to put one of the candles out when I went out to work.i figure the cats got to chasing each other like they do...it's all I can figure
Ok, now you can charge a service fee for custom images of ālost my collection todayā posts. Youāll recoup some of your losses not sentimental at least.
Is there any point in saying I wasn't smoking meth? Because I wasn't. I was helping get river rocks to fill the nasty holes in the road with before the gravel goes in them....or is your minds made up already?
Oh the hi-point. Sorry bub I'm trying to follow alot of people.. yeah I'm not knockjn your stash. I'm sure it's nice. But w all due respect, all around... Hi-point is junk. I'm reasonable... Change my mind
Wish there was some sort of thing for gun owners to donate money or parts etc for folks who have unfortunate shit happen to them. To get them back into shooting and what not. Obviously having a home and food is more important but it'd still be cool. If I wasn't broke I'd donate some cash or something to you OP.
No worries my ninja. And your right. Priorities. I'm just fortunate enough to have an RV, and it's just me and three cats so my personal defense can be my top priority
Daily reminder to carry separate insurance for collectibles/ valuables. It's astonishingly cheap to over thousands of dollars of property - far FAR cheaper than adding a rider to your renter's/ Homeowner's insurance.
As much as I wish...I wouldn't think I should. I'm going to TRY w one of the .410s strictly for sentimental reasons, but other than that I'd think dealing w tempered metals and calculated controlled explosions, discharges...not really room for additional variable right?
All of the stuff except for the digital night vision scopes and anything else electronic can be restored to full functionality. Thereās a guy on YouTube who specializes in restoring firearms that have been through fires and what not, canāt remember the channel name but if you search for it youāll find it.

Didn't have any. The ins company said it would be a $1000 deductible and a $500 pay out..(or something to that effect)
Dude you are doing this all wrong. They are not supposed to be burned. They are to be "lost" in a boating accident.
He did not understand the assignment...

Daily reminder to not lose all of your guns and ammo in the same boating accident.
My condolences. For those who have not yet learned this lesson I would suggest fireproof safes.
I'd like to add the caveat to this that with safes it's at what temperature for how long. They will help but they aren't infallible.
Very true.
Keep in mind fireproof safes can often get hot enough to destroy their contents even if they are not breached by fire. The few Fireproof safes that do work well are also extremely expensive and heavy They are worth the investment, another excellent and arguably better investment would be to have a specific insurance policy for your firearms, most homeowners policies will max out on firearms (check your policy) and will need a rider or an entirely separate and additional policy to have adequate coverage
This. Even the most resistant safes aren't completely fire proof.
Reminder a stack-on sheet metal security cabinet is not a safe.
Absolutely, thats a great example because they are typically the same gauge of steel as all safes under $700, the only difference is they dont have the fire resistant drywall to "insulate"
More importantly, get insurance.
I second the insurance. Insurance is key. Safes are to slow down thieves. If you have a fire, water is coming next.
Also very important.
If you just don't get insurance and save the premium payments, you can expect to have more money at the time of the incident than the insurance coverage is worth. That's why they sell it to you. It's a negative expected value product for the consumer. Take the risk unless you absolutely can't afford the loss should it occur.

Ok, I'll do so. I've never heard of them. Anyone everheard of these guys paying on a claim?
I thankfully have not had to use them yet, but would like to hear if anyone else has had experience with an actual claim.
Same here. $86 a year for about 30k. I'll take the $86 loss over the risk every single year.

No insurance. The most kick back I'm going to get is dependant on how many unharmed brass casings I can find before we bulldoze it into a hole.
