Where to stash firearms before Canada border crossing Login/Join 
come and take it

I'm planning a 4,500 mile road trip from Texas thru the western U.S. to Vancouver, Canada this summer.

Anyone have any idea how/where I could store a firearm or 2 before I cross the border north of Seattle? I watched a Youtuber stash his pistol in the grass on the side of the highway for a day trip across the border. I'll be in Canada for 10 days, I'd like a better system than that! Any gunshop provide lockers or something? I'd prefer to get it stored before the border and not involve either govt.




I have a few SIGs.

I’m right off I-5, 45 min north of Seattle (or 2 hours, depending on traffic..), 75-90 min south of the border.

If you needed to leave a locked box of stuff you don’t want to carry across the border, I could probably make room for it in my garage for a week or two.

What part of "...Shall not be infringed" don't you understand???

I don't know if this is a good idea because I don't know Washington gun laws...

Safe Deposit box rental at a bank???

There is a Wells Fargo with safe deposit boxes located at 1855 MAIN ST STE 101, FERNDALE, WA (360) 384-1213.

Advantage of a bank, they don't need to know what you're placing in the box and the box areas I've seen don't have cameras. You do need to be careful how you enter the bank building and look up WA's "sensitive places" laws if they have them.

Also, is WA a state with a 10 round or less magazine restriction in place?

No restrictions on banks by the state, bank may have their own rules though.

Yes, WA now has a 10 round law banning “importation or sale”. Possession is not illegal, but nothing in law addresses or clarifies what “import” means as it pertains to someone traveling through. Probably better off to have 10 rounders, but no one is checking.

Boss thanks for the offer!

I did some internet looking around and found Borderview in Lynden, WA 4 miles from the border does storage for $100. Place in Montana would do it for $10. I'm guessing there are dozens of options along the border.

Using storage does limit me to going in/out the same road, and some places timing M-F 9 to 5, which is probably okay. I would like the freedom to do a big loop inside Canada, go in thru Montana, come out Seattle, but I'll make it work.
