Can you keep your guns in a storage unit?

My apartment has a no weapons rule. So would I legally be able to store them in a storage rental unit? Or does it have to be at your residents?

My feeling, ignore it and just be very discreet.

There's a much higher chance that any storage unit company will have rules in place that prohibit this before apartments would.

PS - They are firearms in Canada, not "weapons"......so if you have guns in your place, you don't have weapons, any more than a baseball bat,
knives and the like.

im usually carrying a fishing rod and very heavy tackle box

but in all seriousness, i think there is another post somewhere discussing the humidty and temperature of a storage unit not being suitable for firearms, even if allowed.

Yeah I could probably get away with storing a handgun in a small regular looking safe. But a gun locker for long arms would be too obvious.

Obvious to who??? It's inside your place. A cheap Stack-on cabinet with a lock is simply semi-secure storage for your personal good, you don't have to answer to a landlord to that.

How does any landlord in an apartment have any idea what personal items you have? Is this renting off an owner of an individual condo or the landlord of an entire building?

Landlord of an entire building. Its low income housing so they do checks to make sure people aren't hoarding or bringing in bed bugs. They give you 24 hour notice sometimes longer notice.
 
Man I reckon you are making it hard on yourself. Disguise it or get out. I would never put my firearms where they are not within a short walk....

Well, if you're a good tenant and keep your #### clean, they have NO right to question what you
have in a secure locker. In fact, they have no right to look any deeper than surface.

and, without restricting the generality of the foregoing, includes a firearm and, for the purposes of sections 88, 267 and 272, any thing used, designed to be used or intended for use in binding or tying up a person against their will; (arme)

I also live in a condo all my long gun cases have Canon, Olympus, Nikon stickers on the outside. I've been asked multiple times what kind of tripod I use. I just smile and say "it depends on the application".
