Safely leaving firearms near the border?

Hey All,

I DON'T want to engage in a discussion of the merits of carrying firearms in your RV in the US. I choose to. That is my decision.

My question is:

Does anyone know of a good solution for safely storing your firearms just prior to crossing the border?

Several years ago I tried leaving guns at a gun store in Detroit while traveling to Canada. I don't know if things have changed since then but they told me that in order to pick them up on my way back I would have to undergo a background check and 10 day waiting period. That was 10 days AFTER I returned to Detroit.

I was fortunate to have friends about an hours drive from the border crossing and they stored them for me.

Unfortunately I don't have trusted friends in AZ.

Any thoughts?
