     No problem there.   
     It would be a safe guard if ones gun fell into the wrong hands and   
   reported missing right way.

     Agreed.

     Not the fault of the gun, but the seller.   
     Its like holding the damage done by a car to the manufacturer of the car   
   and not the driver.

     Again, if its a stolen gun who used it isn't held responsible but the one   
   who owned it who had nothing to do with its use.

     We didn't carry side arms in the Navy.   
     About the only ones who did were security of some sort, shore patrol,   
   etc.   
     I don't recall ever holding a live weapon while in the Navy, other than   
   one time.    
     The closest we came to that was in boot camp where we carried wooden   
   rifles.  The only thing one could do with one of those was hit someone with   
   it.    
   :)

     Yep.
