Place to store my gun outside of home?

Does anyone know of a place in Indiana (Indianapolis specificily) that let's you pay to store your gun that's not a storage unit setup? I know it's a long shot but my wife has a history with guns (father etc) and doesn't want one in the house right now so I'm looking for an off-site storage.

The easiest would be a family member or friend that you trust. I'm not sure of a company that would do this unless you asked nicely at a gun store/in door range you frequent. Is this a temporary or permanent solution? If it's temporary, you could pawn it, then pay back the pawn before the period is up.

Yup. Somewhere you've got a friend looking for an excuse to buy a bigger safe. Win/win.

I googled a little out of curiosity. I found some web-based companies that actually do this. You ship your firearm to them, and they hold it. All that said, I'd rather just ask a friend that lives in the state, "Hey, can you hold this for a while? I don't mind if you shoot it as long as you take care of it."

Easier that way, and I'm lucky enough to have a decent set of friends and family I'd trust with something like that. That's a privilege not everyone has access to, I suppose.

I know a guy who put a firearm in a sealed PVC pipe, buried it in his yard. Just in case.

Just make sure you put a couple of soup cans and some loose change 6 or more inches about it before covering it back up all the way.

Very smart.

So, lying to your wife is okay? You're not married, are you?

He didn't say she did. She just does not want around, right now. Maybe he's just trying to respect his wife. Regardless, you think it's okay for a person to lie to their spouse. Bad.

Pawn shop. Just pawn it, pay the monthly interest so they continue to hold it and when it’s safe, pay off the balance do another 4473. Leave with your gun.
