Who This Is For
Secure Storage for Real Life
Life happens. When secure, off-site firearm storage is needed, Hold My Guns® is here to support gun owners.
The Process
How Voluntary Storage Works
Hold My Guns® partners with established Federal Firearms Licensees — firearms retailers and ranges — who agree to hold firearms under a legal storage agreement.
Depending on the partner location, storage may include retailer-managed storage or individual-use storage lockers. Federal, state, and local laws apply. Storage partners do not ask why firearms are being stored. Voluntary. Secure. Contact your local Hold My Guns® partner for available storage options and applicable procedures.

Advocacy, Community, Peace of Mind
Ever since I learned about Hold My Guns®, I have been a huge fan of their mission and the invaluable services they provide. After surviving the Columbine massacre, I appreciated the value of life like never before. As a student of history, I recognize that the best way to protect life is by protecting liberty and property as well. Hold My Guns® has found a way to provide a much-needed service as well as help people in times of crisis, all while valuing and protecting life, liberty, and property.
I've been promoting members of the firearm community as good people that care about their fellow man. Hold My Guns® is an example of grassroots advocacy in the firearms community. They recognized a need, then went about creating a solution. I've supported HMG from the beginning and I promote them and their mission, it's a great alternative to turning firearms over to the government, losing your property and possibly your rights.
Diversityshoot.com · 2A4E (Second Amendment for Everyone) PodcastI never imagined going through a divorce would be so challenging, but reaching out to @holdmygunsorg marked a turning point. Sarah referred me to voluntary firearms storage, connected me with options for pro-rights counselors, and shared with me a personal safety plan. This support made a huge difference. Recently, I received the amazing good news that I will be reconnecting with my child, whom I've missed very much. Demonstrating personal responsibility during this tough situation undoubtedly played a role. I am profoundly thankful for Hold My Guns® — a service I never thought I'd need — and the unwavering support of our firearms community.
Hold My Guns® does not publicly share reasons behind storage requests.
