Theme: What you must do if you own firearms and haven’t  done so yet

Barb and Carrie created this helpful checklist, based on their discussions during the show.

Firearms Checklist for 2017

From The Women’s Gun Show, sponsored by Ruger

  1. Record all serial numbers, accessories (include magazines, scopes, optics), value of firearms. Take photographs. Create a document on computer. Use Excel spread sheet.
  2. Clean firearms that have been used.
  3. Store your guns and organize your safe(s). Purchase additional storage options for your guns.
  4. Analyze the places in your home that you spend time and plan to store firearms accordingly for safe and storage placement.
  5. Check out holsters and other parts for them.
  6. Figure out an organizational system for holsters and belts, optics, etc.
  7. If you have holsters, optics, etc., that you don’t use any longer, consider donating to a non-profit conservation organization.
  8. Get and change, if necessary, batteries for optics. Clean the glass on your optics.
  9. Order any extra batteries for accessories.
  10. Do a maintenance check – flashlights/lasers. Change the batteries on all batteries.
  11. Check safes – change batteries.
  12. Buy binders with sleeves and store your firearms manuals and small tools in the sleeves, in a resource area.
  13. Review your training – log it – set training goals for new year. Consider making a dry fire checklist that applies to your lifestyle and how you’d use your firearms.
  14. Clean out your range bag, remove all items and organize before placing them in back in the bag. Change batteries in electronic ear protection, and add new batteries in a Ziploc bag for future battery changes. See https://www.amazon.com/Life-Changing-Magic-Tidying-Decluttering-Organizing/dp/1607747308 for a great technique on how to organize things.
  15. Organize your ammo storage and rotate it so that the oldest is in front and gets used.
  16. Check – restock your cleaning kit/supplies.
  17. Carrie’s bonus tip: Review your local laws. Refresh and note any new laws in place regarding firearms and especially, concealed carry, for this year.
