Wifeypoo recently went over the top and bought me a new shotgun. She got to thinking (someone has to do it for us) and requested I empty the safe, vehicles and wherever else there may be a weapon, put them all together, take photos and write down make, model and serial numbers. Got 'em all out and included the scope as well. Did it all, put them back in the safe and other places.

Note to many - our home policy does not have a limitation on firearms. Check yours. Too many companies have come to Texas or have changed their forms in Texas, to where coverage for firearms (in total) is limited to $2,500 or so. I would call that minimal and otherwise woefully insufficient.

Our safe is, well, safe. Although burglarized prior, reason for the safe and yes, the cows were out of the barn, I am not so concerned about theft of 'em all. That would suck, but it is unlikely. A fire could be a different story. That there safe is fire rated, but I fear the damage that could be done by heat in the unexpected event of a total loss. Anyways, why take chances. Writing down this information and taking photos [provides a visual representation of what is actually owned and would come in mighty handy at the unfortunate time of a major loss. it's just not that hard to do.

Please do not give me heartburn for owning a Tikka. At least it isn't chambered in 6.5 Creedmore.

We have done the same thing but also copied list and pics onto multiple flash drives and have them dispersed for safety.

Insurance is a burden and a cost. It's something you never hope to utilize and wish like heck you have it when you need it to respond.

You can say other than Hud's, insurance is scam, but don't go disparaging me and the tools I utilize to help others every single day of my life. The guy who just left my office cuz the big ol' tree fell on his home is particularly grateful right now.

Hud -- what's the blue sponge you're using? Assuming you use it to lightly oil?

I concur.

Insurance is a necessary evil as far as I’m concerned. And it’s also my biggest expense.

I also did the photo and serial # recording during the recent shut in. My insurance homeowners policy only covers $2500 firearms loss. My deductible is more than that bang was thinking about an extra firearms policy. It’s $2.75 per $100 of value. Im still working on getting values, heck I’m having a hard time remembering when I bought most of my firearms.

I've seen big trees fall without wind before, but this is ridiculous. Photos don't even do justice. Woke tree guy up at 6:30 and he has already been out there. Says he has to use a crane and I believe it. The house is on the other side of the garage. We fear the garage will tumble on to the home. Topping it all off, it's the neighbor's tree.

I've got pictures of everything, and pictures of the serial numbers. All of it is saved on the computer as well as offsite cloud storage.

I also have some brief write ups on some of the important guns in case something ever happens to me. That way my son will know what he's getting.

It’s the neighbors tree? That’s gonna be a logistical nightmare! I’m constantly trimming trees that hang over my property line, that belong to neighbors that just don’t do anything about it.

I use an app on my phone called GunDB. You can add your guns with pictures, then add accessories and ammo for each gun. It will keep a running total of what your collection is worth including accessories and ammo. It will also separate the two, because scopes, lights, holsters and anything that is considered an "accessory" is covered by regular insurance. The gun itself is covered as the "gun" under the insurance. So you can have $1500 gun and a $1500 scope plus $300 in other accessories on your rifle plus $500 in ammo.

You might have a $3800 package, but if you have it all broken down $1500 goes on the gun insurance and $2300 goes on regular insurance.

I’ve also got some huge cedar elms close to my house that really need to be taken down.

Does GunDB put the values on automatically?

I have a similar problem. Waiting on the man. What price were you quoted?

Didn't obtain a quote. it's an emergency action to prevent or otherwise minimize or other damage. Since it hit the structure, the insurance company will be on the hook. We are just using a crane and cutting off what is needed on our side of the property. That there tree owner will deal with the majority of the trunk and the root ball.

Just an FYI, with most policies that $2500 firearm limit only applies to loss by theft. Fire or any other cause loss has no limit.

That's solid info, thanks.
