Brownells Gun Techs Steve and Caleb are back to test the validity another old nugget of gun lore: the notion that the best place to store a gun is in a gun case. So... is it? A gun case is actually the worst place to store a gun on a longterm basis. Gun cases are designed for and great at protecting guns from damage while transporting them from Point A to Point B. The problem when it comes to longterm storage is that most gun cases are made of cloth, or at some parts of them are cloth. And cloth holds moisture. This is exactly the kind of environment you DON'T want your gun in, especially if you live in a humid climate. The best place to store your gun? A gun safe with a proper dehumidification system. Steve also has some coldweather advice for gun owners, too. So the myth that a gun case is the best place to store a gun is BUSTED. Put that firearm in a gun case ONLY when you're transporting it.
