Is it legal for me to store someone else's firearms collection at my residence for an undetermined amount of time?

What's in the collection? Regulated firearms? NFA items? Why are we storing them, is this a G Gordon Liddy type situation? If your house burns down or broken into who is responsible? Are they insured?
This of course is not legal advice, but a personal opinion. If none of the firearms are Regulated or NFA items, I see no problem. My suggestion would you both document that this was agreed upon storage and listing the serial numbers, make and model. I say this for a couple of reasons, in case, god forbid, you get robbed or there is a falling out.

Same as it ever was .....
It is a variety of legal weapons, some made from 80% kits, several long guns nothing the average Joe couldn't own. I am storing them because another person at the residence is prohibited from having them.
As to the responsibilities - I am not sure of the law on that either, I would keep them in my safe of course. They are not insured, but the owner is not concerned about that.

Question: When you say "the residence", you mean a different residence, right? Not a case of multiple residents sharing the same house, and you are now storing them in the same house for a prohibited person, right? Just to be clear.
Also, I guarantee you that the owner that is "not concerned" NOW about them getting stolen, will become MUCH more concerned if they actually DO get stolen. Just something to think about, maybe get a "hold harmless" document signed by both parties.
Ok. I don't have the law in front of me, I can't look it up. So let me give a hypothetical situation. An individual gets robbed and as any dutiful and responsible owner they report it. During the course of criminal investigation it is revealed that the individual was storing regulated handguns for an individual as well as his own. These handguns in question are not the same. My concern revolves around the magazine capacity of the weapons and the wording of the law regarding magazines. If one just stored the weapons and the owner kept the magazines (assuming these are greater than 10 rounds), I don't see how this could be misconstrued and transfer. Or if the agreement clearly states the parties agree this is just for long term storage and is not a sale or a gift. Things like this can get extremely complicated quickly. I think your security officer gave some god advise as.well.There are handguns of course and they are regulated.
