Me and my wife are currently in the process of being licensed to be foster parents.

My question for those that have been licensed is how was the firearm storage portion of the requirements for you?

3-1-2020  New question. The licensing Agency wants to have records of my handgun registration. I threw all the forms away after the 30 day period. What should I do? Tell them they are legal and that's it? Contact the State to get them?

Girlfriends brother and sister inlaw are, They were very strict on Firearm storage. Guns and ammo needed to be behind 2 locked devices. so in a locked room inside a locked safe. I think in a locked safe with a trigger lock was ok IIRC

I'm told I will have to place trigger locks on all my firearms that are stored in my Liberty Safe. This will be expensive.

We are licensed foster parents with 2 foster children.
They require:
1. A list of "all" firearms (this gets turned in with your license application)
2. Firearms MUST be locked up and secured separate from all ammunition.
3. Ammunition must also be locked up and as stated above, separate from firearms.

Don't know who told you that....But mine are just fine in my safe with no trigger locks.

I think the case worker is adding to the actual requirement.

First off... congrats.  It's both challenging and rewarding.  I ended up adopting my first foster (in and out of the system, mom's rights were finally terminated...).   It's been a few years since I fostered, but here's what I went through.

For me, I referenced the CPL laws and they settled on just having a copy of the CPL.  I had some of my forms, but definitely not all of them after several moves, etc.  Especially since it is much easier to buy/sell pistols with a CPL.

I had to do this too.  Cool part is the sheriffs office had locks for free.  I called them and explained the situation.  Their question was how many do you want.  So you can try that.

It was enough I had the guns in the safe (with locks) and the ammo in the same locked room as the safe.

Also, this little tidbit is good to be aware of too.
