Self Storage

[ultra_bright]

Would anyone here under unforeseen circumstances be willing to store your antique firearms in a self storage place if they were allowed to be stored there and covered by insurance?

I'm thinking of storing my muzzleloader there while I'm in the process of moving for a few months, and would like to know people's opinions about keeping guns in other locations.

Nope, never, naw, bad idea, flawed thinking...I think that about covers it. You got friends or family nearby? I'd rather put it in someone's closet who I knew.

Nope not unless a shooting buddy I trust..

First thing: If you were going to do something like that you shpouldn't be advertising it on the 'net. Like leaving your wallet on the dash of your car - it's not clever. You aren't as anonymous as you think you are.

Second thing: Antiques are deemed by law to be "non-firearms". Therefore even if the storage company has a policy about firearms, it obviously doesn't aply to non-firearms. Don't ask, don't tell. If you were going to store your antique in a self storage facility, the fewer people who know about it the better. That most certainly includes the management and staff of the storage facility. Think about it.

Third thing: self storage units are a really poor place to store valuables. I would try hard to find an alternative before I'd leave anything of value in a self-storage unit.

A self storage unit is not a good place to store anything.
