Gun sitter?

[obiwan]

So we're going to Colorado for 2 weeks this summer, yes the little treasures are all tucked away in the safe which is bolted down.

I don't want to leave the house for that period of time even with the safe, any short term storage ideas?

Have some house sitters. I don't always take our dogs with us but regardless if I do I always have some friends come and stay at our house. I leave plenty of beer and food. Everyone happy.

Ill watch your guns if I can take them to the range....you know....so they don't magically get up and shoot someone....

I hire my youngest son.
He gets:
1) His preferred food and drink
2) Some extra cash
3) Time away from the roommate
4) Closer trip to his job

He has to:
Feed the dogs and look after the place.

I also have a couple neighbors that I trust.
(The rule is that we call each other if there is a moving van in our driveways.)

Excellent post OP. I think about this all the time. I am paranoid. If someone were to peel my stash, I would flip my wig!!!

Call some of your LGS and see if they do this like Reeds does ..

Well the first thing you should do is post on a public forum that you will be leaving your guns alone for 2 weeks. Even without exact dates, thats plenty of info that an obama voter could use

For some of us that would cost more than a 3 week Mediterranean cruise.

How big are these lockers? How many long guns could you store there?

Insurance and a alarm system. I do not worry much about material things. Life is to short to hover around my house concerned with "what if's".

^^^ I agree

Trusted house sitter, and don't tell them about the safe.

Next, camo it, tablecloth over it/stuff piled next to it/on it or give it an new facade -- slip a refrigerator box around it. Get creative.

Im not sure you would have to give them a call.... Ill be calling my local range to day to check and see if they have them,.... this way I could store a few pistols there and go shoot after work from time to time.... I hate leaving guns locked in my truck at work for any length of time ....

This and maybe a gps tracker inside the safe or liberty safes sells an alert box that notifies you if the safe is moved or the temp. changes.
