I recommend everyone remove their guns before getting interviewed I wish I had only had a single .22 in my safe now.

Was she actually an arms officer of a "vetter" ?

When my son got his FAL the vetting lady asked to see my gunsafe(s).
When she was shown these she asked if I should boxes of ammunition on top a safe.
She couldn't or didn't distinguish between factory ammunition and factory projectiles.

Of course I replied ammunition should be locked away, components (projectiles, powder and primers) not so much.
