Renters, how do you do it?

If you’re worried about the owner stealing your guns, maybe you should find another landlord.

Get a safe or gun cabinet and keep a security camera pointed at it if you’re concerned. Indoor cameras are super cheap.
 
So my wife and I are thinking about selling our house and renting for a bit. How do you transient guys / renters handle your gun collection? We have no close family or friends to store stuff.
Most people rent because they don't plan on being in an area long or because they don't qualify to buy, in my experience. Just curious, but why sell your house to rent someone else's? Why go from investing in your own real estate to paying someone else's mortgage?
 
When we were in that same position I rented a climate controlled storage space and moved safe etc there. Behind a fence, in a locked building, behind a locked door, in a locked and bolted down safe, LOL never felt better about it. Did not move this room of goodies until the house was ready. If someone wants to steal they will steal at least make it hard, assholes are lazy.
