Inexpensive Long Gun Storage
From The Evidence Log Magazine
Thanks to Stephanie Kertes, Property/ Evidence Manager,
Mishawaka, IN Police Department for this tip!
Our city sewer department donated the PVC tubing and cut it into 3-foot sections for me. We then drilled four holes into each side of the tubing and connected them with plastic ties. The arrangement was then placed into a shelving unit that is accessible from both sides. Each tube can hold two long guns, one from each end of the tube.
We tie wire tags onto the guns and then I place a label secured with packaging tape on the butt of the gun for easy identification. Our unit holds 60 long guns. The tubing also helps to protect the guns from any damage from being stacked on top of one another. Please pass this tip on, as I think it may help others.
