In a month I'm moving from Minnesota to Texas,
All of the guns that I own are kept in the
house in a gun safe where its always warm,
when I move should I keep them in the truck where it is warm, or in the Uhaul truck where it
would be below freezing, The reason I'm asking
this don't want to do any damage to them,
wandering if a adverse temp change would
promote rust.

Keep them warm. Very cold weather always puts a coat of moisture on metal.

What Bob said. Blued weapons will sweat with the temp differences and may rust....

Keep them warm. When you go into the motel room for the night, take them in, uncase them, wipe them down, wipe them again in the morning and re-oil them. Or, put them in the trailer and leave them there until you unpack. A cold gun will collect moisture if it warms up. Not if it stays cold.
