A question on Storage!?

Ghost147 · November 17th, 2009, 13:20

Hello! I know there's a few requirements for actual functioning guns to be locked up in safe's and so on. But what about airsoft guns?

Styrak · November 17th, 2009, 13:41

No legal requirements at all.

Forever_kaos · November 17th, 2009, 13:44

As Styrak said, no legal requirements.

But, can you imagine if for some strange reason a police officer was in your home and saw your stuff laying about?
Or a younger brother/friends brother or just a friend, popped over and man-handled, tore up your stuff?

I'd at least try and hide it.

Moral requirement: Lock your guns or at the very least, keep them out of sight.

I'm personnaly not very fond of the wall hanger, unless they are in a locked or dedicated "gun room" that has no windows.

Extremely good point. As cool as it is to have what looks like a real AK-47 hanging off your wall, if your neighbors can see it, so can any random. I just keep mine in their original boxes with the lid turned inside out and shove em under my bed.

Perfect! thanks, that was really bugging me.

If you treat them with the same respect and care with respect to storage as a real firearm.

Locked up out of sight.

Basement gun room for the big win!!!

LouisZimmerman · November 17th, 2009, 15:22

I second Brian.
It's not a legal requirement, but since they look like guns...
it's a Damned Good Idea.
You can buy a small gun locker from Canadian Tire for around $100, less if you find a sale. It's a long term investment that I would consider worth the money.
Second choice is an old school locker, or a wooden cabinet with a hasp on it for a padlock, or a locking trunk.
The key here is 'locking'. A lock should keep nosy people out, which should help keep the airsofter out of trouble...

I actually fix ATM Machines, and we get quite a few tall safes coming in that we dont need anymore, so i may just go ahead and use one of those bad boys

Griffen · November 17th, 2009, 22:48

Sweet that would be boss!!!

kullwarrior · November 17th, 2009, 22:54

I just store it like a firearm, trigger lock, secure it into a bag, and have it secure the bag would not be removed easily. (aka 3 locks total: 1 on the gun, 1 on the case, 1 the case to my bed)

Honestly, if we're truly to get airsoft legalize in Canada, (which the only way is to legalize it as free firearm) we need to show that we are responsible. Don't use the law as the standard, its the minimum. Just like keeping your doors lock for your car.

I store my AK in the back window of my truck!

agreed. just be smart and use common sense.

I store my MP5 in a gun bag and put a lock on the zipper and store that in a wall unit bottom cubboard. GBB is in a locked pistol case in the same area, and mags, batteries and ammo are stored in a lockable toolbox in the same area... following what everyone is saying though, keeping it all out of sight is a good idea...
