Re: Moving / gun storage

I've put my house on the market but I won't be getting another house until this one sells (not gonna have 2 mortgages!). So, if my current home sells and I can't get to another house directly, I'll be needing to hang at an apartment for a few months. Probably less than 4 months, I hope. Anyways, I have a gun safe and a few rifles, pistols, and shotgun and I need to have those things somewhere other than an apartment. Aside from a typical storage facility (not so sure how secure those places are), what are my options for securely storing my firearms for a couple of months? I really don't have any family or friends around that I feel I can ask to hold my arsenal. I'm currently in west Houston/Katy area.
I've managed that situation by renting an indoor storage locker in a climate controlled building with cameras, alarms, a security fence, a keypad controlled gate and a manager that lives on premises. I put the guns in boxes and buried them a ways back from the door with lots of low value stuff on top, around and in front of them. I then put the safe in the front - unlocked and empty. I've had no issues, and it's considerably more secure than someone's garage. Just for good measure, I covered the safe with a moving blanket before arriving at the facility to avoid generating any curiosity or drawing attention to my locker.
