Thread: Required to justify the number of firearms you own?

My understanding is that under the A CAT license once a persons security is inspected. As in when it is first installed, The Police or arms officer has no right under current legislation to re inspect it. The only legitimate reason to re inspect is if the firearms owner moves addresses. They also have no right to inspect individual firearms or request any information regarding those firearms, including the number of firearms the license holder is in possession of.
Can someone please point me in the direction of the piece of legislation that says otherwise.
