If FFL’s don’t voluntarily do something to secure their weapons after business hours, the ATF is going to end up telling FFL’s how they must store them as a condition of getting their license.
Your idea just jogged my memory on a very negative experience I had with a local kitchen table FFL.

I had purchased a P22 via GB to practice stoppage drills . It was mailed directly to FFL. Did the BGC, paid the fees. FFL either lost his book and wasn't logging correctly (I don't think this guy every told me the truth) and got audited.

He had contacted me to see if I would be willing to come back and re-do the check which I was (no fee). He called later and said the ATF wouldn't allow that and he would have to report every gun as stolen to the Douglas County Sheriff. I wasn't happy. He called a few days later and said he found the book and the ATF was satisfied.

Never went back. Never heard anything more of it. Wonder if this is inflating the number of "stolen" guns?
