Do you keep a log book / record of your collectable firearms?

[Sapper740]

My only issue with a paper log book is that they can be damaged or destroyed.

My community has had two catastrophic floods in 1996 and again in 2007. I was unaffected, but I saw a lot of family history in the form of photos and paper records at other homes get tossed in the refuse pile after the water receded. I have nothing against a physical paper record, but in this day and age of 2023, I think it wise to also have an electronic back-up. Just my opinion.

The problem is if you bought any of your firearms with a C&R license then a paper copy is mandatory.

I didn't say not to do a paper log, just a suggestion to back it up electronically.

I do my best to keep mine accurate and up to date, but I also purposely let my license lapse. As soon as it does, I can destroy those records. I then apply for my license again. It doesn't cost any extra, and I have about two months every three years where I don't have a license. But my liability for accurate C&R records only goes back to the start of my most recent license.
