I'll be moving to CoS this summer. I was looking for a trusty dealer/FFL to send some firearms to. I'll need them to hold onto them for a bit until I secure a house and get my safe.

Thanks!

Any of the gun shops will do it, Specialty Sports, Sportsmans Warehouse, Whistling Pines Gun Club. They may charge you a small amount, but why aren't you just taking them with you? Then you can carry them to the shop to hold, once you find the one you want. Or even leave them with a friend. You don't need a FFL to keep weapons for someone.

My wife is going to be pretty far along with her pregnancy so we will be flying instead of driving (I'd have to ship my handgun anyway driving through Canaduh). I'll already have way too much luggage...with a high maintenance, hormone-raging, pregnant wife, 3 year old, a cat, etc that there won't be room for firearms. Maybe if I can get the family shipped out a month ahead of me or something I can bring them but that's not in the plans at the moment.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Girlfriend is getting her masters there. Plus, it's so much more beautiful there than Texas. How about you?

Uncle Sam is sending me back to Peterson. I'm in the USAF. I lived in the Springs from winter 1997 to summer 2001.
