Wondering what others do with their gun cases when not in use? I like to have a dedicated case for each of my higher end guns so the volume adds up. The hard cases by volume are greater than the combined volume of display cases and vaults. Most are leather so they can't be stored in a cold shelter in winter temps. Also the vintage leather cases can not be stacked because they end up getting crushed. My gun room is the quarter of a 2 car garage and its jammed packed. The soft cases I put in a vacuum bag and that cuts them down to 1/2 the size so they are somewhat out of the way. I need a better storage plan.

Tamid,
Let go of the idol of "more stuff". Accumulation is an idol. Start getting rid of some things. Simplify your life...

Mills,
Correct, in that nice guns deserve their own case. Presentation cases with labels and such just look wrong with another gun in them. Of course I suppose soft cases would correct that.

I currently have my nice hard cases stacked either front to rear or side to side on three safes in my gun room. I have a couple of everyday cheap hard cases and most of my soft cases in a closet adjacent to my gun room that I talked my wife out of. I have other cheaper and less used soft cases and a couple of full length stainless steel and hard plastic rifle cases and ALL the factory shipping boxes in the attic of my barn........wait - it sounds like I also have a case problem. John, perhaps I should take your advice!!

My storage solution consists of leaving them scattered about the house. It helps that there is no "woman of the house". LOL
