Personal Firearms Inventory Record
Each year, thousands of firearms are reported lost or stolen. The owners’ ability to adequately identify these firearms is central to law enforcement’s ability to investigate these crimes and losses. Insurance claims and reacquisition of recovered firearms will also hinge on the ability to correctly identify these firearms. Completing this record and maintaining it in a safe location, separate from an individual’s firearms, is an important first step in the effort to prevent thefts and to keep firearms out of the hands of criminals. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE a/k/a ATF) asks that Federal Firearms Licensees advise their customers as to the availability of this record. The Personal Firearms Record is available at the following link:
