What is your Gun Inventory System?

Some great ideas on here...so far I just have a hand written list in my safe. I think I will make a copy or 2 & maybe get a safety deposit box & keep the other in a safe at a family memebers house... I am definitely on board with Not putting my list online for the Washington snoops....

I went 100% digital a few years ago.  Got a Fujitsu "scansnap" scanner and went crazy turning everything into 600 dpi, color, searchable PDFs.  Then I backed that up, then backed up the backup, then backed it up a third time.  Then I shredded all the paper that wasn't a "keepsake" with sentimental value.  Every few weeks I scan any new items like receipts, tax documents, etc. and that would include all gun receipts.

One hard drive sits at home backing up my PC on a regular basis. A second one is in a fireproof safe at work which I swap with the home one every 3-4 months, and a third is a relative's house several hundred miles away which I swap every 9-12 months.  Hard drives fail, but I figure that's pretty safe.

My goal in life it to keep things as simple and uncluttered as possible, and I find that digitizing everything to a couple hard drives is way better than files of paper.

I have a printed spreadsheet that I keep in my separate fire safe. It has both my own firearms list, as well as my dad's. He also keeps a secure list that contains my firearms information as well.

Google keep sticky note.

google knows everything else about me, so i figure why not.

Currently I just have a paper list with serial numbers and descriptions in my fireproof safe. I like some of the ideas here and will consider storing pictures (including serial numbers). I keep a USB flash drive in my safe as well, I can put them on there and I also have some other digital encrypted "safes" in other locations.

I never did keep receipts or other proofs of purchase because I never thought those would be needed for anything. That may change now that I'm in a stricter state.

Like Citizen Clark I'm also planning on putting everything into a spreadsheet on Google Drive.  That way it can be accessed from anywhere, even if my house burns down and takes my safe and computer with it.

I need to get my list updated with values in case anything happens to me, so my wife knows how much it's worth. 

Only problem is, then she'll know how much I spent on all of it

Just tell her how valuable they are, not what you paid for them
