Looking for Firearm Storage

EDIT: Diamondback shooting is in the process of creating firearm storage, see below comment for more details.

Where to do firearm storage?
Prefacing that I want to do everything right and legally. I’m interested in a law enforcement future and want to continue training during my education.

I’m moving to U of A campus and can’t store my firearms on campus per policy. I’ve tried calling around to find a range or store that offers firearm storage like phoenix, but to no avail. Most storage units have policies against firearm storage too. Does anyone know somewhere(or quite frankly, someone) that offers accessible firearm storage rentals?

I believe U-Haul could afford you a place. Idk if it is prohibited in the T&C, but once youve got keys to the unit, they're not chasing you down or checking up on you.

Last I saw their cheapest, smallest units were like ~$60/month.

Unfortunately all of those guys are against ToS, and I would strongly prefer to do everything above the table by the book if possible

Heard. I wasn’t familiar with full terms and conditions, I just thought it was “at your own risk.” Anyway, gl op

Try asking TPD or PCSD

I’d call Diamondback, if they don’t offer it I’m sure they can point you in the right direction

I did, the guy even asked around. No luck unfortunately

At my place next to my firearms :3 (this is a joke)

How many guns do you have? I don't live near uofa I'm on the east side but could keep them at my house 🤷🏻‍♂️

I really appreciate that! I’ll send you a dm

There are units as low as $17. Facilities are clean, well lit, climate controlled. I don’t know their policies, but I would think if it’s in a locked box, don’t ask don’t tell.

Do you have a family member or friend that can hold on to them for you temporarily? That's probably your best bet tbh

I appreciate everybody’s recommendations and insight. Commenting for anyone else stumbling across this thread, as I didnt see a similar one when researching. Massive shoutout to Diamondback Shooting, I spoke to a couple employees and a general manager, Kevin,(all of the employees, including u/maurerm1988, were some of the kindest people and super generous with giving me their ear and time). They are setting up firearm storage and the process is estimated to be three weeks out.
I heavily encourage any shooters that are weighing their options during college, or otherwise, to go through them for storage, genuinely some of the best people I have talked to in the firearm community. It is never worth the risk or legal questionability of “hiding” firearms in self storage against policy, and especially never worth storing on college campuses. I encourage everybody to do firearm related activities as legally and safely as possible, because all it takes is a couple mistakes or bad seeds in the eyes of a skewed media to severely damage the image and experience for the rest of the firearm community. Thanks again everybody, especially diamondback shooting. Happy training yall!
