Quote:
A number of years ago an FFL I knew had a customer who had a protective order taken out against him during a divorce proceeding. The customer wasn't allowed to possess firearms. He asked the FFL to keep them. The FFL was willing to do so, but he didn't want that number of guns (there were "a lot") going through his bound book. What was finally worked out between the FFL, the local police department, and the BATFE was that the customer's gun safe was moved into the FFL's shop ... but the FFL was not given the combination. The theory was that, this way, nobody had access to the guns.
That safe sat there for months -- and then one day it was gone. The divorce was finished and the protective order had been dissolved.
It's important to note that this arrangement was reviewed with applicable LE agencies before being implemented.

What a unique way to solve this scenario!
