Is there any reason to "worry" about having this information? Is it similar to registering? Just curious questions from a newbie.

I'd be more worried about a site I didn't know, with an unknown history and an unknown future, being the prime location for the information I'd need if my guns were stolen or destroyed. I'm reasonably sure Google isn't going to disappear next week.

No offense, MyGunLocker, but I don't know that about you.

I assure you, I have nothing to do with the BAFTE. I don't support government interference with the personal lives and hobbies of it's citizens.

I'm glad some of you are finding my site useful!

None taken. You make a valid point. Unless this project gets to the point where it's somehow wildly popular and the hosting costs begin to outweigh any ad revenue/user donations, I have no plan to abandon it. I've invested a lot of time into what I believe will be a useful service, and I'd explore all options before shutting it down. At the moment I'm working on implementing a function that will allow you to export your data so that you can have your own copy, hopefully that will alleviate fears that the site may disappear and you'll be left with no data. I hope to have this feature live by the end of next week.

I'm pretty sure that would be enough for me to use the service. I wasn't clear earlier. I think it's a great idea.

I've added the export feature to allow users to generate a CSV (comma seperated values) document or a Microsoft Word document. Let me know what you think, and thanks for the feedback.

This is the first time I've actually looked at the serial on my AR15 that I've had for a few years.
I like the idea of google docs, I finally recorded mine in there. I think I'm missing a couple, I'll think of them later.

I don't like having it on the computer itself without having a copy somewhere else. Its very likely that the same crook would take the computer too.

Surprisingly not really.
My inlaws got busted into a couple of years ago, they took a ton of jewelry, an unmounted document safe and other stuff, but left the nearly new CPU and monitor. Apparently the connection with the local PD said they don't bother with computer stuff since it loses value so quickly and its bulky. The ring and bracelet was worth more than the CPU.
Of course this is anecdotal, and not related to anything other than what I've indirectly experienced. Probably not worth the $0.02

From my experience (our office complex has been broken into a couple times) they tend to grab laptops and leave the desktops alone.

Last time I had just gotten a new desktop with all the bells and whistles. I remember it was in the 2-3K range with a REALLY nice tube.

They left that, but grabbed the 7 year old POS laptop with Windows 98 on it that would fully boot every third or fourth time you powered it up.

I was actually happy to see it go
