Before taking your firearms to a storage location, you should first ask about:

  • the process for storing
  • any costs
  • whether a background check will be conducted
  • any limits on how long guns can be stored

Many retailers consider offering storage on a case-by-case basis. Please reach out to them ahead of time to discuss whether they can accommodate your request.

Do not open carry firearms into a police station - always call in advance. Lock firearms in a case or leave them locked in your vehicle while making arrangements with law enforcement. Some locations provide pick-up services; you may inquire about that when you call.
