Storing and Transporting your Weapons with Waterproof Handgun Cases

If you are looking for everything you need to know about storage for handguns then look no further! For everything from long term storage to portable storage for traveling, we have all the answers here for you today.

How To Secure Your Handgun Cases When Traveling

One of the best options to secure handguns when traveling and flying specifically, is to use a lockable waterproof hard case container.

With regular trips to the range, you’re going to want a case that is large enough for your weapons, ammo and accessories. Choose a case that is convenient to your vehicle. Do you want it to slide under the seat or perhaps fit in a pouch behind the seat or in the glove box? Should it be stackable?

Know the laws in your state about transporting weapons. You’ll want to look up something called the Castle Law, where in some states vehicles are considered an extension of your home, which makes handguns legal for transport but to also defend with force.

As for flying specifically, all guns are required to go through the baggage claim. You will also have to make it clear that the hard case contains a gun to the workers. Use gun locks and TSA locks to secure it. It never hurts to also include desiccants. Do not take ammo in any form.

How To Prevent Rust and Moisture

This is geared more towards long term storage, but today we have some advice for you whenever you are storing your handguns long term. First off, one of the first things that you can do is purchase a dehumidifier if you live in an area with high humidity. This will prevent any moisture from getting on the gun(s).

Next track the moisture and temperature levels in your safe or storage area once a day for a full year. Finally, coat your handguns in wax and also wear while gloves when handling the guns. It is also important to understand that you should clean your gun every 250-300 rounds and a deep clean every 3,000 rounds.
