Let's stir up some debate and talk...because I love NFA stuff, and because I would like to become educated, as much as possible, before I possess my first NFA item (which might be next week or in three months, who knows).
If you are at a range with an NFA item, and they call the range cold for replacing targets, what do you guys do to protect your NFA item from being stolen? If you read about this online, you hear it happening. How often it happens, I don't know, but I've read about it happening (and for those who would think that it would never happen because its illegal and the ATF would knock down the thief's door, I would remind you that bank robbery is also illegal and the FBI would be all over the robber, but it still happens).
Something like a machine gun would be hard to steal, but a suppressor would be easy to steal because it is so small. Heck, even an MP5A3 or K would be easy to steal because they're relatively compact.
I'll be shooting by myself a lot, since my girlfriend hates guns. So when I'm switching targets, I'll have no one to watch my stuff. Also, this place has no rangemaster. Everyone just agrees to a cease fire and goes to replace targets.
I'm thinking of putting my stuff in a locked pelican case, but the case which will hold my multitude of suppressors is a small pelican. And my MP5 case is tiny, so I'm worried someone will make off with the MP5 and case while my back is turned.
Thoughts, fellas?
