I am looking for guidance on storage law.
Am I able to store some of my collection at a family members house, inside of a safe? I am not sure if that is within the law or if everything I own, needs to be at my residence.
Any legal eagles know anything about this?
This is extremely timely for me, as I am putting my house (back) on the market and considering how best to reduce the volume of my belongings overall. I have two easy-to-move safes (one key-operated, the other biometric) and my friend has offered to let me store them (and their contents) on his property. At this time, I do not intend to store magazines there (and probably no ammo either).
If I'm distilling this discussion accurately, this should be OK so long as:
- I have no reason to believe anyone residing in the house is prohibited
- I include only "transferable" firearms (i.e., handguns and long guns currently available for sale in MD are fine, but my M1A is not)
- I don't include any NFA items because no one at that residence is part of the governing trust.
I am definitely interested in informed (and even some WAG) opinions and recommendations here. Or do you think this is BGOS BS, and that a couple of standing safes in closets would be NBD if you're trying to sell your house? (I live in western Baltimore County if that helps.)
