First of all, please don't tell me not to hire movers. I don't have a choice for various personal reasons. (Not being able to carry heavy things, for one example.)
I'm moving from a ground-floor apartment to a highrise about 5 miles away.
I've got a "Hobby Room":
My concerns in this order are:
Is there any problem I'm missing?
I don't feel like I have to eliminate ALL the problems, but I'd definitely like to minimize them.
I have a few ideas on how to minimize some of my problems like moving some light stuff early in the morning myself before the movers come and stashing them in a closet of my new place.
Can you give me some advise on how to handle this move where I'll end up with about three 20-year-old moving guys handling my stuff?

I'm moving from a ground-floor apartment to a highrise about 5 miles away.
I've got a "Hobby Room":
- a 100 lb. "hobby" bench with a lee turret attached and a small vise (that I could take off).
- It also has a non-descript looking lock box bolted to it. (About 24" x 24" x 24" cube chuck FULL of handguns.)
- Many dry boxes full of ammo (marked)
- plastic stack drawers full of gun parts, grips, primers, knives, etc.
- a bunch of unloaded bullets and brass (a few hundred pounds)
- 2.5 pounds of propellent
- 2 rifles in soft zipper cases
My concerns in this order are:
- 1. The movers realize I'm a "gun" person, gossip to their friends - I become a target for burglary.
- 2. The movers mention something to my apartment managers or my neighbers and I either become a burglary target or a "terrorist".
- 3. They take something.
- 4. They want to draw me into a conversation about guns/knives in front of someone I don't want to have a conversation about guns/knives in front of.
