Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main risks of storing firearms in a storage unit?

The primary risks include theft, losing ownership if rental payments are missed, and severe legal consequences if a stolen firearm is used in a crime. Law enforcement can trace the gun's serial number back to the original owner, leading to investigations.

How does the ATF trace firearms used in crimes?

The ATF uses a reverse tracing process. They follow the gun's serial number from the crime scene back through the manufacturer, distributor, and gun store to identify the original purchaser, whose name and address are then obtained.

What are the recommended safe storage locations for firearms?

Firearms should ideally be stored in a secure safe within your home or carried on your person. Temporary exceptions might include a vehicle safe if you cannot bring your firearm inside a location.
