Packing Firearms for a Long Distance Move

Do you want to relocate your firearms to your new home overseas from Denver? If so, you’ll first have to do some research and see if it’s even possible. Many countries do not allow firearms into their country, and yours will be confiscated at customs or upon arrival if this is the case in your new home country. Contacting the country’s embassy or consulate in the United States is the best way to figure out their policies regarding firearms. Also, make sure to check that the exact type of firearm you wish to bring is allowed. The country may allow most pistols, for example, but not allow in your specific type.

If your firearm is allowed, then you’ll have to prepare it for the journey. First, you’ll want to make sure that it’s completely unloaded to prevent the gun from accidentally firing live ammunition. Relocating ammunition internationally is also usually even more difficult than relocating a firearm. Once it’s ready, it’s recommended that you put the gun into a hard-shell case to protect it while it’s in transit.

You’ll also need to make sure that the moving company you hire relocates firearms. Some companies don’t want to handle weapons and won’t do so, especially for a move as involved as an international one. So, ask the companies if they will relocate your firearms when you contact them inquiring about their services and prices.
