I was told the other day by someone who should be fairly knowledgeable on the subject of SBRs that, if you were away from your home, it was required that your SBR be secured in a gun safe.  Any truth to that?

it needs to be kept where nobody but you have access to it.

whether that's a safe, your truck, or a locked gun case, the point is that only you have access.

assuming its set up as an individual right? If its a trust or corp then the named officers can have access to it right?

If you live alone, only you have access to the gun.  You're not responsible for somebody breaking into your house, car, locked container, or gun safe and obtaining access to the gun.

If you live with other people and wish to leave, securing the rifle in a locking rifle case and taking the key with you ensures that nobody else has access to the rifle.

I am not a lawyer.  The preceeding was not legal advice.

Mine are owned by my Trust.  Everyone living in my home are beneficiaries of my trust.

OK, what about a weapon owned by a corporation?  I assume the officers of the corp. can have access at all times, right?
I actually have a corporation and I'm thinking of applying to ATF in that manner to build a SBR.  As I understand it, you don't even need a sign-off by your chief LEO if you apply as a corporation.

Zack3g, do you have any tips about using the corporate route to apply?  Any place I could find guidlines on that?

You don't know my accountant; I've got to say he's not all that sharp!
