If you are lucky to be a licensed firearm holder, you need to understand that they should be handled with utmost care. Some of the reasons you may apply for their ownership include for hunting or self-protection purposes. A reloading press can be a good acquisition if you own a firearm.

You can easily make your own ammunition even from the comfort of your home. Look for the best reloading press to grant you a smooth time in this process. You should store your weapons correctly to avoid endangering the lives of other people in your home. Here is what you should know about keeping guns and ammunition at home.

Storage of Weapons at Home

The basic rules of storage also apply at home. Ammunition must be stored separately from weapons, under conditions preventing free access, the ideal being a locked cupboard, and of course, out of the reach of children.

Weapons must be stored either in strong cabinets or safes suited to the type and number of materials held. Weapons can also be secured by dismantling one of their essential parts, such as the forearm, for example, a part which must be stored separately from the rest of the weapon, thus rendering it unusable. If these solutions do not suit you, you can use an anti-theft device preventing the removal of the gun, such as a cable passed through the trigger guard under a padlock.

Where to place your gun cabinet? Which size to choose? Which opening system to favor (key, electronic, or mechanical)? These essential questions will have to be taken into account when selecting your strong cabinet.

Transporting Weapons

Any weapon to be transported in a vehicle must be unloaded and placed in a holster, sheath, or dismantled. In both cases, it will not be usable immediately. Most authorities advise that the case must be closed, without specifying the content of the device. The padlock and the key are not compulsory. The “sock” case remains authorized, closed.  Note that when you move with your hunting or shooting ammunition, they must be stored separately in a case or an accessory different from the one containing your weapon.

To transport weapons, it is necessary to carry the hunting license with you and a validation title for the current year or a valid shooting license with a doctor’s stamp. If you wish to have additional security, you should add a trigger guard lock to your weapon to block its use during transport.
