Has anyone found a Gun friendly self storage place in MA? I'm about 20 miles outside of Boston and need a place to store my stuff for about 6 days while moving. I've been unable to find any laws about storing them in a locked, alarmed, staffed self-storage unit. When I ask what the policy is about storing firearms I get told "No way in Hell!!". I feel like they want to call the police for even asking such a question. Has anyone done this? In or out of MA? |

How many guns you have? I live In north central mass have a small gun safe depending on how many guns you have. I would store them for ya for free. I am about 1hour from boston and live right off route 2. Shoot me a IM if interested also let me know how may rifles/ handguns you have. Jeff |

99si-mass: Thank you for the offer. I didn't mean to be rude. I got to looking at AG Guns&Ammo’s website and got distracted. I’m thinking about picking up a few things and they seem to have them at ok prices. I’m in the Natick/Framingham area. I’ve heard sketchy things about the Village Gun Shop but I’m not sure how biased they were. I went in once and was not impressed with the customer service. Seems like they only wanted to talk to you if you were 50+ and they had known you since high school. |

Not offended just busting you chops. Hey I went to college in Framingham right off route 9 by bose. Before ITT moved to norwood. Villige is price and service could be improved most the guys are like that but dick the manager is cool. Another place right down the road is the gun room its down by rayco car stereo on 9east. |

When I had major renovations and an addition done to my house in 2000-2001, I stored all my long-arms (except my CAR-15) in my storage bin at Extra Storage. Only one I "asked permission" of was my gun insurer (who wanted some pictures and info on the place). My Wife and I brought the guns in and out of Extra Storage "in darkness" (evening hours) and covered the gun sleeves with tarps so that they weren't visible to their cameras. As soon as all the contractors left here, I moved them back home. A lesson worth learning from a great lady, Adm. Grace Hopper "It is easier to ask forgiveness than to get permission!". I live by that rule. If you called almost anywhere (a restaurant, theatre, library, museum, etc.) and asked them if it was "OK" to carry a firearm while visiting their premises, I could almost guarantee that you would be told "NO" (even though you have a LTC and no law prohibits it). That isn't "law", it's someone's foolish and prejudicial rule. Don't ask, just do what you must do. [NOTE: Extra Storage was an indoor storage facility (climate controlled), with cameras in every hallway and alarms on every storage bin, so safety was really quite good. I would never store firearms in an outdoor storage facility due to climate-induced problems and easy target for theft.] |
Very good points made. thanks! |
