in most cases (pun intended) no IMHO
a lot depends on the humidity - of course top quality oak and leather trunk cases were meant for storage. But even then humidity in you home can be an issue.
the long soft cases are meant for transport. I have friends that store in them with no ill effect, and have seen some guns develop rust in them
I keep them bare in the safe, but have thought about getting rust inhibitor gun sock to protect them from bumping into each other.
