Firearm Storage Resources

Pierce’s Pledge has no political affiliation and provides this map solely as an informational resource for individuals interested in locating storage options.  For additional information and to understand more about the storage offerings of the businesses identified on the map or in the list below, please contact the business directly.  Pierce’s Pledge can make no representation about the businesses identified on the map.  The Federal Firearms License holders on the map are not pledge takers and have no affiliation with Pierce's Pledge. This map was generated using a customer based survey that did not involve any information about Pierce's Pledge.  These FFL locations were only asked yes/no questions about the FFL's storage capacity, willingness and availability. 

** UPDATE** Thanks to California's SB 368, those seeking to voluntarily store their firearms for any reason in CA should find more dealers who are taking firearms for storage now that most will be expected to take firearms for voluntary storage for any reason. 

The team of Pierce’s Pledge is committed to working on a comprehensive and current list of locations for storage of firearms. This list is changing, and will be updated as we are able to confirm facilities.

If you need assistance with firearm storage immediately in a location not listed below, please feel free to contact us at info@piercespledge.org.

If you would like your name to be added or removed from this map, please email info@piercespledge.org.

General Information on How to Store Firearm(s):

For more specific rules and regulations check your state laws.

To store your firearm(s) with a dealer, you'll typically need to follow these steps: 

  • Find a reputable firearm dealer or firearm retailer that offers storage services. Use the Pierce’s Pledge national map for available dealers in your area. 

  • Contact the dealer to inquire about their storage options, availability, fees, and any requirements they have. 

  • Bring your firearm and current government issued identification to the dealer during their business hours.

  • Complete any necessary paperwork, such as a storage agreement and any required forms.

  • Pay any applicable storage fees. 

  • The dealer will provide you with a receipt or other documentation confirming that they are your firearm. 

  • Alert the dealer when you're ready to pick up your firearm(s) and follow their procedures and any additional required paperwork. The retrieval may require a background check, waiting periods and other procedures vary state by state.
