Pending approval as a host for this group I'd like to introduce myself.

flaming lib quals: Federal Firearms License for Curio and Relic firearms... I currently own seven rifles and one pistol, all designed prior to the turn of the 20th century. Most of them I have not fired.

So I presume most all of these are bona fide collectibles, or relics, & you don't have them on pedestals in your living room, or unsecured elsewhere. Eh, not a disqualifier I guess.

They are all secured in a locked gun safe bolted to the wall with the ammunition secured in a secondary location.

Bravo. Dismiss concern expressed in my previous sentence.

I typically have 100 rounds of ammunition for each of the two types of rifle.. how military surplus bullets are sold.

Eh, not disqualifier the way you explain it, but I didn't use that much ammo in 20 years of gun ownership (22 rifle & 12 ga sg), except for maybe 200 rds birdshot for skeet a couple years (till novelty quickly wore off). I'd shoot the rifle into soft ground once a year to make sure it still worked, Point blank I never missed the good earth.
PS, been gunfree over 15 yrs now, oh what a feelin, dancing on the ceiling.

I also have four other guns in storage for others. I offered my 12 year old grandson $20 if he could lay hands on a gun and ammunition in 24 hours. He couldn't do it but I gave him the $20 anyway because of the piece of mind it bought me.

Since you're a dealer you get a pass. Benny of the doubt you're honest.

I haven't laid hand or eye on any of these guns in over a year.

Bravo Zulu. You too could be dancing on the ceilin' if this keeps up.

In a typical year I might take one or two to the hunting property while visiting my brother, an avid hunter. Been doing this for more than a decade and have successfully avoided shooting anything so far.

I'm thinking blackmail might work well for me here.

I had two semi automatic pistols but in January of 2013 I had them destroyed as per BATF&E instructions. After watching 6 hours of live coverage of the Sandy Hook on CNN and MSNBC with a three year old in my lap I came to the conclusion that there is no justification for civilian ownership of semi auto weapons with removable magazines because the ability to kill with them is only limited by the physical strength to carry ammunition.
I donate to Everytown For Gun Safety and Sandy Hook Promise.

Final judgement: Thumbs up, by a goodly margin.
