I have heard that the fire protection aspect is a bit overrated. Your guns may not actually burn but they will cook, the wood will suffer, they'll have to be refinished. Then the insurance co. may deny replacement value, only pay for them to be refinished. What happens to the value of that Parker AAH if the wood is refinished?

Better to have them documented and burn completely I think.

And if you have to worry about hiding guns from the wife you shouldn't
a- be married, or
b- be playing with guns.

Disclaimer: I'm not married.

My problem lies in reconciling my gross habits with my net income.
