Well... Crap.

Why would there be a "shitstorm?" Your property was stolen, report it to the cops with descriptions and SNs so that if/when they bust some low life with one of your guns, you'll get it back.

I had a handgun and a bunch of holsters, etc, stolen out of my car in 1984. Of all the things I lost, the pistol was the only thing I got back.

Kind of a funny thing, I had written off the gun after it was stolen and replaced it with another one. Almost a year later I got a letter from the Boulder County Sheriff's office that read "we have made an arrest in a crime in which you were a victim." I thought it was odd and racked my brain trying to think of what crime I was a victim of in Boulder county. So I called the number and they looked up the case number and said "You had a handgun stolen last year right?" They said I could come up and pick it up after showing an ID.

So anyway, call the cops, give them the SN's and call your insurance company if you have one (homeowners or renters insurance usually covers a storage unit unless there is some specific exclusion in your policy. Of course, deductibles and policy limits apply too. Also, I'm not sure what happens if you file an insurance claim and collect on it and then the PD finds your gun. I don't know if you have to turn it over to the insurance company or pay them back or whatever. My loss wasn't covered (and it was way below the policy limit anyway) so I'm not sure.

The "shitstorm" question is because I have to be very careful with some of my stuff because various jurisdictions don't like certain features of guns. Nothing NFA or truly high-dollar was in the unit, but some places don't like pistol grips, semi-auto 12ga, etc.

AFAIK: There's still no restrictions in CO for what you own, yet.

On aside not i sure as hell would not be securing any nfa items with anything other than. A nice safe, in the same place i was living. If i owned any nfa items, of course.

Yeah, the dollar amount here isn't very high (under $10k, I'd estimate) but it included the BB gun my grandfather used to teach me how to shoot, a replica of what I was shot at in a warzone not too long ago, etc. The danger to society is real, though (1911, AR, a couple 12ga, etc.)
