Record keeping for firearms?

[SanDiego619]

Do you guys keep a record or logbook of your gun purchases? Things like purchase date, address used for the transfer, things like that? Any reason to?

Yes, insurance. I use Excel.

I have a list of all Makes/Models/Serial numbers that I keep both in and outside of my Whoreme. Insurance purposes. Also included date of purchase.

Gun Safe app is great, but only available on android devices. I have it on my phone and Samsung tablet.

Been meaning to start one, but then the wife might see it.

I have a note book that I’ve recorded all that info in since the late 80’s, whatever I bought or sold. There are a crap load of guns recorded in that notebook and more then a few Calgunners in it too.

Yep I file a paper copy of the Dealer's Record of Sale plus I scan it and keep them in a folder on my computer.

Ok. I'll try to dig up what I can and make a digital and paper record. It will help if I want to sell anything, and for insurance purposes if my hovel burns down.

i use the notepad on my computer

i list all of my firearms, including serial numbers and email it to myself - that gives me a permanent record of all my firearms and i can access the information from any computer, laptop, or device that gives me email access

anytime i purchase a new firearm i record that information on that same notepad with all the others, delete my old saved record and email the newly updated notepad to my email and keep it in my saved folder

for me, that's the best way to do it and i never have to worry about losing it

I have most of my dros's except for those bought under the table. Gun show loophole (LOL)

CA DOJ keeps a running inventory of my firearms.

I have DROS and receipts for all of the guns I've purchased in my filing cabinet.
I use EXCEL to keep various lists on my computer. My Gun Distribution List has the make, model, caliber, serial number, date of purchase and which of my kids gets it some day.
