Is it legal to store firearms not in my house?

[DTSN72]

Long story short, we just had a kid and my wife wants my firearms out of the house. It's annoying, and I know y'all are going to say that it's time to trade in my wife, but really this is the only place we don't see eye to eye, so I'm trying to respect her wishes. She's always been super supportive of me in just about every way, but she's taking the hard line when it comes to guns in the house and a kid. Basically she said look, the second he's out of high school you can bring it all back and more, but while he's here I don't feel comfortable. It is what it is, so I'm trying to come up with a solve.

I rent a locked garage space from my neighbor literally 3 houses up and could easily move my safe up there. I'm curious though, I pay for that space month to month and do not have any type of lease. Would storing them there be kosher from a legal perspective and would I be under any obligation to inform the owner? Curious to get everyone's thoughts.

Thanks.

In a locked safe in your own home is as safe a place as can be. She needs a talking too

Doesn't seem like an ideal situation. No lease, no permanence of any kind. Cant you lock your stuff up in the attic and call it a day? How on earth is a new born going to get into a safe? Sorry I'm probably just annoying you further.

 

[CATI]

Does she look in your purse?
Maybe that is an option.

 

[Realtor MA]

If you want to make a point with the Mrs. .... Maybe you should go through the house tonight with a trash barrel and start throwing out anything and everything that could be dangerous. Matches, knives small things that can fit in a kids mouth(like jewelery). Unplug everything and tape up the outlets. Put a guard rail around the stove. You get the picture

Her position is completely ridiculous and irrational.

You have a burglar-resistant steel safe for your guns. What is her concern? Is a gun going to grow two legs, load itself and start shooting at people? It's literally an inanimate object in a safe.

Wow, joined today, first post. Where do you go from here….

You're marriage is doomed.

How on earth is a new born going to get into a safe?

this was my first thought. You have time, why not tell her you will figure something out by the time the kid is walking?

 

[DTSN72]

Believe me, I'm aware that it makes zero sense but it is what it is for the time being. Thoughts on wether this is a reasonable solve?

Sounds like short story long.

So, your wife predicts that you won't need a gun to defend your home/family for the next 17-18 years?
Show her the recent video of a mom who shot an intruder while she was home alone with her 4 kids.

Next noise at night, ask her to go investigate it

 

[Picton]

If she's anything like my wife, she never goes down into the basement. Stick 'em down there. What she don't know, won't hurt her.

But then again, if she was anything like my wife, she'd be rational. So.

 

[bigbravehog]

Before we married, she says no guns and no motorcycles. I have guns and motorcycles.
We've been married 35 years.
Be a man.

Your marriage is doomed.

Unless he likes being married to an irrational woman. What good are guns that are inaccessible.

Postpartum isn’t the best time for rationale discussions. Suggest a review of your security procedures so the newborn/future toddler/snooping kid won’t be able to access the firearms. Outside the home storage with a close relative in a safe you control may be a compromise if she won’t budge

Got it. Thanks.

Sometimes you just have to stand up.
I love my wife more than life , but if she starts throwing ultimatums around about what I can no longer own , I'm going to miss her.

 

[Woodstock]

Tell her you met a girl who's going to let you store them at her house. You'll be spending some time over there, you know, cleaning the guns.

 

[AllaSnackbah]

Bruh you shoulda stored that dick somewhere else about 10 months ago.

 

[MaroonedinMA]

Don’t listen to fools.

What you need is a second wife; then you can store them at her place.

Best advice so far.

 

[Compooky]

You’re both stupid. Would be safest to keep the safe at home unless she’s worried about a kid cutting through steel. Maybe add a camera recording anyone near it to make her feel better.

No agreement of any kind for the garage space means you’re fcked if anything bad happens. Worst case scenario is something illegal happens and gets pinned on you. Need to draw a line somewhere with ultimatums or there’s no end.

I used to watch those "reality" shows where people bid on abandoned storage units. "Ahhh yup!" The owner dies, moved away, forgot about the unit, lost their job, whyever.

Once in a while, the locker would contain a gun. usually crap but some nice stuff once in a blue moon.

Probably better off burying it in the backyard. (don't really)

A real safe (as opposed to a school locker with a masterlock) will be completely secure. Tell her *I* said so.

All these years, before you had the baby, was anyone able to go into your safe?

Did your guns magically open the safe, loaded themselves and placed themselves where a kid could get them?

Her argument is nonsense. Literally you carrying a gun is more dangerous than a locked container because you are a human and can f*ck up, like placing the gun on a table and forgetting.

Let me guess, she also won't let you CCW?

These are the type of things you have to discuss BEFORE having kids. Now your only option is to convince her the safe is SAFE. Man up and say "NO".

I have seen this before with a friend, 5-6 years later he still can't get his guns.

 

[Brannigan03]

Maybe get a beer fridge that can double as a gun safe? Secret room under the stairs? False floor in the basement?

 

[MadatMarek]

We need to be of service to one and other. I will offer to store the op’s firearms anonymously for a very reasonable fee. I’ll bring them back as he finds the need for them. I promise

All her make up, all her hair sprays, all the cleaning supplies, her 17 different shampoo and conditioners, hair iron...

These are all things usually not locked that will cause harm to a child.
