Default Firearm storage location

Can a firearm be stored in a safe in a family members home (father) who is a licensed gun owner? Is there paperwork needed for this?

It's a bit more complicated than that, if you want to be excruciatingly correct.

What you probably want to avoid is the appearance of a transfer, which does require paperwork.

This would apply for short periods of storage:
Quote:
27880.

Section 27545 [transfer through an FFL] does not apply to the loan of a firearm if all of the following requirements are satisfied:

(a) The loan is to a spouse, registered domestic partner, or any of the following relations, whether by consanguinity, adoption, or steprelation:

(1) Parent.

(2) Child.

(3) Sibling.

(4) Grandparent.

(5) Grandchild.

(b) The loan is infrequent, as defined in Section 16730.

(c) The loan is for any lawful purpose.

(d) The loan does not exceed 30 days in duration.

(e) Until January 1, 2015, if the firearm is a handgun, the individual being loaned the firearm shall have a valid handgun safety certificate. Commencing January 1, 2015, for any firearm, the individual being loaned the firearm shall have a valid firearm safety certificate, except that in the case of a handgun, an unexpired handgun safety certificate may be used.

(f) If the firearm being loaned is a handgun, the handgun is registered to the person making the loan pursuant to Section 11106.
For longer periods, it might be useful to use CFARS or file an OPLAW form to actually transfer the firearm to parent, and then again to transfer it back, essentially spending $38 (2 transfers) to store the gun.

Seems like a low-detection event.

What’s a “licensed gun owner”?

How long are you planning to store it for?

If it’s a short-term loan (30 days IIRC), then no paperwork needed.

Otherwise, Mr. Librarian is correct.

What type of firearm? If its a long gun for hunting...you can loan it for the whole hunting season if your dad has a hunting license. Some hunting seasons are 365 days long each year.

Yes, and I wouldn?t worry about. It makes sense to securely store at least some arms in a location that the government can?t immediately find. The jackboots might like to make you believe otherwise, but it?s none of their crap eating business where your property is.

Is the AR pistol a CA AW?
