    Are you allowed to store A cat rifles with E cat rifles in the same safe tho?
    I asked this question many moons ago and my local AO at the time said "why would that be a problem as the requirements for "E" storage are more stringent and my "A" would be store in a much safer place then just the "lockable cupboard" a cat requirements at the time. He said just store the mags separate which is what i do.

    When Obama's term finishes? The panic started after he was elected first time round.

    The current panic sparked by the Sandy Hook shootings


    It was crazy during the first Obamanoia as well but it died down until recently, stuff was available and reasonably priced. I should've ordered what I wanted last year but I never got around to it and now nothing is in stock anywhere.

    Does anyone put gaffer tape or foam on their brass deflector?
    Or am I just being anal and treating the rifle like a safe queen?
