What is this insurance?
Someone else will probably explain it better, but there is a form of liability insurance for firearms available at a discounted rate from CCFR (via CapriCMW Insurance).
Yes, I don’t plan on using it as an excuse to be less vigilant, but having the peace of mind is nice. Closest I’ve ever been to the OP’s situation for maintenance (no video or crazy ex) I kept the bolt and trigger group locked up in the safe and had a cable lock when not actively “working”.
But Similar to the gazelle’s post, there could be a misunderstanding on the part of LE, and if that situation escalated and wasn’t able to be talked out of, it’s nice to know you’re not alone. Some say never talk to the police, but I disagree (depending on the situation).
Very true and in the OP’s case he had the bolt removed (assuming that as he said it was disassembled) so he met the requirements of the law. It appears he didn’t have a good enough grasp of everything required to represent himself in court and the judge probably wasn’t aware of the intricacies of a disassembled firearm as it relates to the laws.
Oh I am so with you brotha, it’s such a time waster, and negative feeding propaganda, how do you get some one to stop using it. It’s an addiction like drugs. This platform is the only social media I am on. Sometimes I wonder why, but then you get a good thread and useful information. Stay away from the university of Facebook.
Oh, you’d have to ask him about that. He said he represented himself and was very surprised at what happened in court. I’m guessing he wasn’t very well prepared.

Personally, I would no more walk into a court room without being represented by a competent lawyer any more than I would try and diagnose whether or not I have cancer. I always hire professionals. Why? Simply because it's my life and I don't have the expertise.

Restricteds need to be secured with a secure locking device when stored in a container, cabinet or room that is hard to break into
OR
Be stored in a safe, vault or room built or modified to specifically store firearms safely.
I think people put locks on them while in a gun cabinet or safe just to make sure they don't run a foul of over-zealous enforcement

Not because they are locked in the same cabinet together, just that restricted needs a second locking device if in a cabinet, where as a non-restricted does not.
People often miss the or. Nothing wrong with putting on a locking device while being stored in a vault, safe or room that has been specifically constructed or modified for the secure storage of restricted firearms and that is kept securely locked, but its not necessary. But I always add at the end of these types of threads, do whatever makes you sleep comfortably at night.
