Well the time has come and the family and I have the chance to relocate for work. My house is currently on the market a d we are heading to Tampa! Crazy change right! My biggest fear is how do I get all my guns, ammo, and reloading gear powders and primers all down there safely? Has anyone else had to deal with this during a move across country? I'm open to all ideas but am currently looking to rent a big uhaul. Or have a moving company help out and then just rent a vehicle to take all my personal/guns and valuables. Just trying to plan the best way to go about this all. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Never made a move like that, but no way my guns would go with anyone other than me.  Uhaul, truck and trailer.....whatever I had at my disposal.  I would have movers move the other contents of the house.  You could also move the other contents with pods which you pack and unpack and the trucking company moves. 

My bigger concern would be the powder and primers staying at a reasonable temp for the drive across country.

Lastly.....when you have to stop for the night, I would be sleeping in my truck.  Call me paranoid....but folks are crazy and I wouldn't take a chance.  Maybe rent a Huge RV to transport all the high value items and just sleep with them when you have to stop.  Don't advertise to folks you are transporting this stuff either.   :tup: :tup:

Glad someone has the chance to leave this Liberal State.  Enjoy your new life in a state that actually loves the constitution.

Funny this was brought up in the last week I have a friend who is taking care of his brother in law's estate back in Nebraska. He was moving with a U-Haul some things that he wanted to keep and he stopped in Denver. At a very nice mode hotel and when he got up the next morning his vehicle and his U-Haul had disappeared and there were firearms involved. The police told him he was be lucky to find anything because it was probably in pieces by now and the stolen U-Haul had been distributed. I would definitely keep my eyes on everything.

What about renting one of those "PODS" to put everything but the most personal then take those with you.  I have heard a ton of horror stories about moving companies.  Do your homework and happy fishing in your new locall

Havent done it in a number of years, but on 5 different out of state moves I just had the moving company do it.  Last time they just loaded up the gun safe with all my guns carefully wrapped in it.  Company was paying the bill.so don't know if they  charged extra or not and don't know if they will.still do it or not.
