I have searched as best I can, and I haven't seen this discussed, but if it has been discussed could someone please direct me? My question is this: Are there are FEDERAL rules or regulations concerning storage of items like suppressors? Do you need to store them in a safe? (I know it is a REALLY good idea, but is it a requirement?) If it is a requirement, what specifications must that safe meet? (Fire rating, type of lock, size of safe?) I am thinking of getting a suppressor, but if I have to get a safe costing $5k, weighs 2000 lbs and takes up as much room as a small closet I may have to reconsider, at least for now. Thanks for any and all info. |
There is no requirement other than making sure that no one but the person on the form 1-4 etc can be in possesion of the item. So, lock it up with whatever means makes you feel safe. |
| I won't say it isn't about being responsible, but it is being realistic. Too many of the people who own guns don't realize that we are all in this together. The trap and skeet shooters can't stick their collective heads inot the sand when it comes to banning guns, because once they ban all the scary looking guns, theirs will be next. (See Australia and Great Britian) (Same for the rifle and pistol shooters. There seems to be way too much snobbish behavior happening, even in the gun club I belong to) I don't want to get into something that will get me into trouble, along with making others look bad. We ALL need to be thinking this way, and we need to band together or else shooting, hunting, fishing and everything else is gone forever. |

If you are married, you would be better off going with a Trust with both of you on it. That way she can have access to it, and you don't have to lock it up where she cannot come in contact with it. This is the route that I plan on going hopefully sometime this year.
