Hi everyone,

In anticipation of my handguns being approved, I went ahead and purchased a Nanuk 925 pistol case. I know these are fine for transporting but are they legal to be used for storage long-term at home? The guns will have trigger locks on them and the case will have a lock on it as well. I'm in Ontario if that matters.

Also is it legal to store loaded magazine in the case along with the gun? The gun itself is unloaded of course.

This is the case that I bought.

As has been discussed here in previous weeks, that 'should' be legal ( I won't say 'is' as I am not your lawyer). But, since you'll not be able to replace any handguns if they get stolen, maybe consider a container that is less easy to just pick up and carry out of your house. Just my 2 cents.

Someone else start a seperate thread about this.

As long it's a hard case that's lockable, and the pistol inside is trigger locked, then it's fine.

Only thing you have to watch out for is the foam keep moisture in, so you should put something in it to prevent moisture build up.

You can store a pistol in the flimsy plastic case it comes in from the manufacturer.
