Thread: Useing the firearms register

Is this just the address?

My latest dealings with regard to storage was when I was asked over the phone how I had my firearms secured.
I had changed address 5 years ago but despite two attempts to let them know no one had contacted me to inspect my security. The different address when I registered must had woken them up.
I was contacted by FSA and after being asked about my security and describing my gun cabinet, the woman I was speaking to said "I guess that sounds ok, we won't bother sending anyone out to have a look at it". Make of that what you will.
