Thread: Extra Cabinets Inspection

The only specific law around changing address is the requirement to let the police know you have changed address - there is no specific requirement for an inspection, it is covered by the same regulation 19(3) requiring storage to be inspected.
All I'm saying is why take the risk when under the wording of the regulations you could end up in trouble? Let the police know what you have done (and they may say "all good, no need to inspect") and your covered. It's not that hard to make a phone call or send an email.

How can you end up in trouble doing something they have already approved?

But hey each to their own.

I believe the requirement to notify police of a change of address is so they can then check your new security arrangements.

Great question and discussion.

I have added safes as I have added firearms and have not had their installation inspected.
In fact when I got my FAL I didn't have a safe as I didn't have any firearms as I didn't have a license.
So none of my safes have been officially inspected.

When my son got his FAL the vetter viewed the safes and didn't check the installation of them.
She did ask why I had ammunition on top of a safe - I didn't as they were boxes of projectiles.
I was shocked to have to explain to an authorised vetter the difference between factory ammunition and projectiles.
