Is it legal to store firearms not in my house?

DTSN72 said:
Long story short, we just had a kid and my wife wants my firearms out of the house. It's annoying, and I know y'all are going to say that it's time to trade in my wife, but really this is the only place we don't see eye to eye, so I'm trying to respect her wishes. She's always been super supportive of me in just about every way, but she's taking the hard line when it comes to guns in the house and a kid. Basically she said look, the second he's out of high school you can bring it all back and more, but while he's here I don't feel comfortable. It is what it is, so I'm trying to come up with a solve.

I rent a locked garage space from my neighbor literally 3 houses up and could easily move my safe up there. I'm curious though, I pay for that space month to month and do not have any type of lease. Would storing them there be kosher from a legal perspective and would I be under any obligation to inform the owner? Curious to get everyone's thoughts.

Thanks.

Tell her she isn't allowed to vote until the kid graduates highschool.

You'd probably be doing everyone a favor from the sounds of her.
 
OP, seriously, I have spoken with several people that have kids and guns and they always give me a similar answer - kids that grow around guns are usually not a problem and not likely to do something stupid. The problem are the kids that were never allowed near guns. When they find one, they want to play cowboy and blow their brains out.

This happened to a good friend of mine little brother. Blew his brains out when his friends dad, a cop, left an unattended gun on the table. My friends brother didn't know sh*t about guns, was never taught safety, was a "cool toy".

I am very lucky. My wife is not irrational. Escort your wife to the safe and ask her to pretend that she is the kid. Tell her to open it up. Change the combo before if she knows it. If that won't do the trick it means that she thinks that YOU are irresponsible and will either leave guns lying around or not lock the safe after use. Her demand tells me that she thinks you are irresponsible.
 
My kids are 2 and 5 and already not curious about guns. They've been taught 'don't touch daddy's tools' and 'don't touch, get an adult'. Showing them, letting them touch under your supervision, takes away the mistique and then they treat them just like they treat my table saw and torture rack.
 
Just put your wife at ease and lie to her, It's not really about where the guns are it's about what she needs to hear. If this was a bout logic, there are many solutions to her concerns about your child's safety.
It is a way easy option than storing your guns and your Balls in the neighbors garage.
 
This is why you need to properly vet your romantic interests.I had an exfiancé that tried pull similar shit to this, but no kids were involved. I brought all my guns with me and told her tough shit. We ended up going our separate ways and it was for the better. This is incredibly unfair because she knew you loved firearms from the get go. What is she giving up?

You guys always repeat crap like that, but I've known marriages that have survived this after the wife went FR about guns.

I have known a few also, but the survival rate goes way down when you start to comply with irrational requests.

I asked my wife on our first date how she felt about guns. She goes for her ltc appointment this Sunday and our 14yo daughters go for their fid cards.

The ones that I know it is a 100% staying married for more than a decade.

This is not the sort of thing you can make assumptions about and tell someone else how they should live their life. Their marriage, their choices.
 
The only good thing the NRA did right was Eddy eagle,

Anayways always good to have some guns in a cache if you know what I mean.

Where you went wrong was letting her think it’s her house. It ain’t her house it’s yours.

If it ain’t I don’t know what to say to ya, if you ain’t wearing the pants you best be a kept man.
 
This is an irrational human being that doesn’t trust you and doesn’t believe you can protect her or your kids if you had to even if you had a gun. You need to find another woman.

Also you’re clearly a beta male cuck for accepting this BS instead of forcing a compromise like a quick access safe, and she will be cheating on you the minute that kid leaves the house, if you’re lucky to make it that long. More than likely You won’t ever be living your dream life with her and your guns down the road. You’ll be paying for another dude with more testosterone to raise your kids in your house.

I get it every marriage is different, I knew a guy his wife made him sit in the corner while she got banged by other dudes...... Different strokes for different folks.
