Thread: Firearm licencing

I think the vettor that came round home was a florist. She had absolutely zero knowledge of firearms or security.

A separate lockable compartment is still legal, no matter what the vettors tell you.
Also it you don't have to remove bolts as they say you do...unless you keep ammo locked up with the firearm (which they still refuse to accept even though its black and white in the Arm Regulations).
I was told I needed to keep my bolts in a separate locked compartment in a different location, and I keep my ammo in a completely different building. Even after pointing out the exact wording in the regs she still refused to accept it.

2.2.6 Ammunition
Storage
1. Licence holders need to take reasonable steps to ensure that
ammunition is not stored in such a way that a person who obtains
access to the firearm also obtains access to the ammunition.8
2. If ammunition is stored with the firearm then the firearm must be
stored in a way that it cannot be discharged.9 Methods of doing this
include:
(a) immobilising the firearm by way of a trigger lock or cable,
(b) removing the bolt and securing it separately or,
(c) some other system to ensure that the firearm cannot be fired.
3. A separate lockable box in a safe, which is itself installed correctly,
is appropriate for the storage of ammunition.
4. A separate smaller safe, installed to the same standard as a
firearms safe, is appropriate for the storage of ammunition.




2. The Police will assess storage against the three areas covered in
Regulation 19(1) which are:
a) Ensuring that young children do not have access to the
firearms.
b) Preventing theft of the firearms.
c) Ensuring that either; ammunition is not stored with the firearm;
or that if ammunition is stored with the firearm, the firearm is
not capable of being discharged.
