I was wondering if there is any definitive clarity on legally storing firearms in a rented storage facility. If you rent a space in a self storage facility, could you put a gun safe in it and store your firearms legally?

From what I understand, a storage facilty is treated like a leased domain, rented apt, etc. As long as it is locked securely, you should be good.

You should check your agreement with the storage place some have a "no firearms" clause in them.

I agree. Can't see any reason you couldn't store your guns there except...

I've rented a bunch of storage places over the years. Every one I've seen said no flammables, ammo, gunpowder, etc. Maybe 10-20% said no firearms. If you decide to do this just read the contract before signing.

Yes I was told it was against the rules at a storage in Bayonne, she said they have the right to check if they think you have weapons stored, she said you can't even store swords or knives
