My question would be how far into the tape did she get.

Wrong….. the question is, how far into who by whom did they get ON the tape?

To the OP, I do apologize for my part in the thread drift as this one goes off the rails. It seems like at least some of the replies were germane to your original question.

I learned a long time ago that any thread I started would inevitably take on a life of its own, and would develop rabbit trails and thread drift in short order. It used to bug me, until I realized that starting a thread was a bit like releasing it into the wild. It was no longer mine as soon as I posted it, and it was just going to go wherever it will. If I was lucky I'd get at least some useful information back.

It's not a thread drift, I was sort of stating that she should trust this person. If she doesn't, then don't have them sit you house.

We trust our sitter.

And, like I said, I'm more worried he will find the embarrassing stuff over the valuables.

Otherwise, look into boarding your dogs and get some cameras.

What KIND of embarrassing stuff?

Remember that can cannon I have?

Well, I may have repurposed it!

Depends. At our house it might be my wife's stash of these

Any time I leave on a trip I gather up items that are of any value, monetary or sentimental, and put them in the safe. It's good practice in case of robbery OR fire.

I do exactly the same. Also all file cabinets that contain any PII (paystubs, credit union statements, tax returns, credit card statements, SSA statements, stocks/bonds/property deeds, investment/401k/IRA docs, old [closed] loan and mortgage statements, etc.) get locked up while I'm out of town, and all the file cabinet keys go into the big safe, along with the spare garage door opener and all of the car keys to the other two vehicles that aren't leaving town.

Unfortunately, the recent focus on safe storage and laws affecting such (and placing liability on the gun owner) have caused the change in focus.

Plus it's getting kinda weird out there.

Poor lady had a simple, honest question about guns and we're arguing minutia and telling stories about porn. <sigh> I love you guys.

She pretty much lost me at the drop of the misoginy card.

To be fair, if she hadn't perused the site a while before posting, all the stuff coming at her from every direction may have been a bit much to handle. But to be fair to us, go drop by ARFCOM for a few minutes and suddenly we look like saints over here.

I've heard that was a requirement for joining the Coast Guard. It's so they don't need to learn to swim, right?

WA requires you store them locked up in an approved safe. The end.

20 year old College chic? Maybe check the place over with a black light when you get back to see if she had any boys over.

I heard that that old "black light illuminates semen" trick is bogus. At least, that's what the SVU detective was trying to get me to believe...

@ApronAmy I teach legal aspects for most things firearms in WA. Respectfully the above post is an incorrect reading of I-1639. WA law does not require they be stored locked up, and there is no "approved safe" requirement (An Oregon law did just go into effect requiring this.) The WA law does state that IF you do not "secure" your gun AND someone else gets them and uses them, then YOU may be charged with a crime.

Also, it's my understanding that what came out of Washington's I-1639 and made it into law was that if your firearms are stolen, you cannot be held criminally liable for what happens with them IF you notify law enforcement within 5 days of the theft. Apparently, after 5 days without a notification to LE, you CAN be held criminally liable if your stolen firearms are used in a crime (although the law doesn't specifically state that you are liable, I think it's inferred that you are).

Factual statements are no longer permitted in this thread. Please take it to ARFCOM if you want rational, reasonable discussion about legal and practical matters.

They aren't, really.

Anchors are for the hobbiest.

Built-ins FTW!

Now, thisguy really knows his stuff...
