Hey everyone,

I'm not allowed to keep handguns in my house. My friend has his restricted and is willing to keep mine there.

How do I go about that and is it even possible?

Yes, you can do it. You need to call the CFO and get an ATT for them to store it.

Not sure how this would work in the long run though. Most people who do something like this only do it for a week or two at a time when they're going on vacation or something. Not sure what will happen if you ask for an ATT for an indefinite length.

Are you 'not allowed' legally or because people in your life don't want them there? If it's the latter, it's probably just easier to hide it in your own house. Handgun cases are small.

Okay thanks for the helpful comment. Would I have to call after receiving the handgun or when the transfer is taking place?

My parents don't want it here, I'd rather not hide it cause it's not worth getting kicked out over. They will let me keep milsurp here for the historical value but I wanna Glock lol.

Did your parents fall for the “big scary handgun” propaganda too? I wish there was a way to convince them, but I’m sure you’ve already tried. Got nothing else to add but you have my sympathies.

Thanks bro I appreciate it, at least they let me get a tokarev cause of it's historical value.

You'd have to call after you get the handgun. When a transfer is approved, you are allowed to pick it up but you cannot transport it anywhere until you receive paperwork in the mail. You essentially have to keep it in your house until you get authorization to move it elsewhere, be it the range or someone else's house for storage.

Also if you haven't bought a glock yet, you are going to be very hard pressed to find one before the 19th.

Hmm even that'd be an issue with my parents. Thanks for all your help.

I have a tokarev on the way so at least I have something.

Your parents should run for a Political Party. I'll never be able to wrap my head around selective allowance of specific firearms over others when they ultimately have the same capabilities. Mind blowing man. Time to start looking for a new residence!
