Storage List

Before you go

Before you or someone you trust takes your firearms to a safe storage location, you should first contact the location and ask about:

  • The process for storing.
  • Any costs.
  • Whether a background check will be conducted when your firearms are returned.
  • Any limits on the length of time guns can be stored.

Many retailers consider offering storage on a case-by-case basis; please reach out to them to discuss whether they can accommodate your request.

Do not carry firearms into a police station without calling in advance. Lock firearms in a case or leave them locked in your truck or car while making arrangements with law enforcement. Some locations have pick-up services; you may ask about that when you call.

IF YOU ARE IN IMMEDIATE DANGER, CALL 9-1-1.
