Can someone recommend a lockable container that can hold 4 shotguns?

Nov 7, 2012 7:40 PM

My coworker is traveling down to SC for Thanksgiving. Her father is giving her 4 shotguns that she has to transport back home. She is looking for a lockable container that would hold all 4.

It has to be lockable!

I've looked for about an hour now and can't find anything. Well....I kinda got distracted playing the helicopter game, but the point is she still needs a container.

Any suggestions?

Why does it need to be lockable? I don't get that part.

You can get two doubles like so.

@zuiquan: She was informed that locking the guns up would be better because she is transporting them across state lines.

btw - the link doesn't seem to be working

@zuiquan: Link doesn't work.

Also, lockable to probably comply with certain state transportation laws. Some state laws require firearms to be in a locked container/in the trunk of the vehicle.

Maybe now? Nope, that didn't work either. Anyway, go to Cabela's and search for Plano Protector Double Gun case. FWIW, I've never transported any gun in a locked case in my life and I've driven from California through Michigan and down to Alabama. Of course, they were in the trunk but not in a locked hard case.

I think the best you're going to do is a double case. I'm sure someone out there makes a four gun case but I'd hate to think what it'd cost.

Unloaded, in a case and locked in a truck appears to be sufficient.

The cases @zuiguan was referring to are lockable.

@kamikaze2007: Yep, that's why I was wondering why the "locked" stipulation. Of course, it's possible that she doesn't have a trunk or something and so would then need an actual lockable hardcase.

If you are traveling through New Jersey or New York you should carry a copy of the Firearms Owners’ Protection Act, it's available with a google search.
Although it is Federal law, state jurisdictions can make your life miserable even showing them the federal peaceable transport law.

Have either of you checked Amazon or Google?

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
