Safe firearm storage starts before you ever walk out the door.
A lot of people think storage only matters at night or when the gun is at home, but responsible carry means having a secure system for every moment your firearm isn’t on your body.

That’s why off-body storage is just as important as on-body carry — and why pairing the right holster with the right storage solution makes your entire day safer and more consistent.

What Safe Storage Really Means

Most gun owners think “storage” only refers to their safe, but real storage is about controlling access any time the firearm isn’t physically on you.

That includes:

• At home

• In your vehicle

• In a backpack

• During travel

• Any moment you set the gun down

The goal is simple: your firearm should always be secure, but always ready for YOU.

Why I Recommend STOPBOX for Off-Body Storage

STOPBOX USA offers a fast-access, no-key, no-battery storage solution that keeps your firearm protected from unintended access — while still allowing you to deploy it quickly when seconds matter.

It’s built for:

• Home storage

• Vehicle setups

• Travel

• EDC bags

• Nightstands

No electronics.
No delays.
Just controlled, intentional access.

How OMNICARRY Complements STOPBOX

This is where responsible carry really comes together.

➡️ OMNICARRY for on-body
Your everyday holster that fits 300+ handgun models (600+ with Micro/1911), adjusts to your preferred retention, and stays comfortable all day.

➡️ STOPBOX for off-body
Fast-access lockbox protection anytime your pistol isn’t physically on you.

The system works because both tools are designed around the same principle:

Zero gaps in safety.

When your firearm moves:

• From your safe → to your STOPBOX

• From your STOPBOX → to your OMNICARRY

• From your OMNICARRY → back to secure storage

…you stay in control during every transition.

Why This Combo Works for Everyday Carry

When you pair OMNICARRY with STOPBOX, you get:

🔹 A protected firearm at home, in the vehicle, or in your bag
🔹 A comfortable on-body holster that fits nearly any pistol you carry
🔹 Consistent access no matter where you are
🔹 No batteries, no keys, no downtime
🔹 A full system built around responsibility

You eliminate the “gaps” — the moments where accidents or unauthorized access are most likely to happen.

Who This Setup Is Perfect For

This system is especially helpful for:

• New concealed carriers building their first EDC setup

• Parents who need controlled access

• People who move between home/vehicle/work frequently

• Anyone who carries daily and wants a consistent routine

• Gun owners who want fast access without sacrificing safety

Carrying responsibly means thinking beyond the holster. Safe storage and smart carry go hand-in-hand.

OMNICARRY keeps your pistol secure on your body.
STOPBOX keeps it secure everywhere else.

Carry smart. Store smart.
Take responsibility for every moment your firearm isn’t in your hands.
