Rifle bolt storage

[mutt]

May I ask why you remove the bolts? Just seems kinda odd.

I'd like to know as well. Is it an extra security precaution to ensure the weapon is rendered harmless or is there a more practical reason?

Mostly out of habit. I have always kept my guns where only I have access to them and I can use them.

I have personal experience with children who have been seriously injured when a weapon was not stored properly. It has made a great impact on me and guided my choices on how I choose to store my weapons. For me, the safest place to have a weapon is in my hands pointed where I want it pointed. If it isn't there, then I store it as safely as possible. Again, this is a personal choice and I respect the choices others may make.

Right on. Figured safety was the primary reason.
