Where to store my guns

[andrewfreeman15]

Hey all, I'm going to school at WSU over in Pullman, I am a freshman this year. I have found some hunting land and am itching to go pheasant hunting. Only one big problem... I have no where to my shotgun.. Any ideas? anybody know of any places over here that do gun storage? any advice is a great.
Thanks

Just give it to Forest, and I'll put it in my safe. 

Yea I know you want to store it over there.

I would try some gun smiths in the local area they might charge a small fee.

Find an off-campus friend who hunts, win-win.... 

We used to keep ours in our dorm (private one though not school owned).  Lots of funny looks walking to the car before a Saturday morning Badger football game.  Funny thing though, our guns never hurt anyone, besides some pheasants, ducks, and rabbits.

I used to keep in my dorm room...not a good idea anymore.   Others used to keep them at campus police....

Are you sure WSU doesn't have a gun locker for students?

I have a son at Montana State, and the walk-in gun locker is on the 1st floor of each dorm building......  of course, that's Montana.

Maybe this will help?

There are a few storage units in the Pullman area. I googled Pullman, WA Storage units.

Maybe a Large lock box would be cheap and useful.

I kept mine in my room, on campus. They can piss off if they think I'm going to lock my guns with the campus police and ask for them back nicely each time I want to "bear" them.

Get a guitar case.   you're pretty well screwed with 594 passing you can't even give it to someone to safely store in a gun safe. Maybe go down to the sheriffs and ask what the h you're supposed to do.

this is a really good point. After Dec 4th, the police will be required to do a background check on you to return your gun to you, and each time thereafter. As a matter of fact, legally, you'd probably have to do one on them before you give it to them. Sorry about you trying to get an advanced education and all. Welcome to the People's Rep. of WA.

pretty sure when I was there it was OK to stroe them at the campus police station (as noted above).  not sure if they still do that.

The local police station can store them for you as long as it is registered in your name.  Now with the new law on the books, you may have to have it transferred into your name each time you want to use it and transferred back to an officer.  Not sure how that will work.
If you get into any trouble over there, they may just keep it.  Maybe ask some of the guys in the Farmhouse fraternity as they all hunt where they store there weapons.

I'd be checking out my rifle in and out and in and out all day long just so they stay busy....
