Yes, I have scanned copies kept on a disc stored outside of my house. The disc has electronics, investment info, jewelry appraisals,scans of passports, etc. An acquaintance of mine lost everything he owned in a house fire and dealing with the insurance was a nightmare. Just trying to remember what you have in your house would be a nightmare. He had a large CD and DVD collection and was told after the fact that if he had video taped his entire house including CDs and DVDs it would have been much easier to settle the claim. He's done that now and keeps the video in a safety deposit box. I also read recently that photos of jewelry should be taken while wearing it.
Mine is on Microsoft One Note. stays on my phone / computer. Originals stay @ HOME.
I scan the original copies, make printed copies. The originals are kept safe, the copies are in my range bag and in the car glove compartment. I used to keep copies in the pelican cases but that meant opening up the transport case if a LEO asked for the registration, so I placed it in the glove compartment and range bag outside pouch.
What is the paranoia about opening a case if asked to? Seems to me a reasonable request and you would not be breaking any laws if asked to do so.
If the reg certificate is outside the case how does anybody verify that it belongs with the firearm inside the locked case?
Originals stay in my large ziplock containing
- my restricted and nonrestricted course reports (originals)
- PAL acknowledge letter
- Pistol Certificates (Originals)
*I also keep my hunting paperwork here between hunts
Copies
- in each pistol case that the pistol transfers in/lives in. ( i just lock up the cases in the locker as its easier to pick up and go)
Good idea to carry laminated copies in your wallet in case you somehow forget something, I will need to look into this
