Thread: Firearm storage near National park village

Having talked to Police officers (including some of the new authority staff) on a number of these issues I have observed an unofficial but consistent message of pragmatism.
There is a wide acknowledgement the law doesn't cover all potential scenarios and we are encouraged to act security minded and pragmatic. This won't save you if you are found to be in breach and an officer/prosecutor takes exception but I consider a thoughtful and pragmatic firearms licence holder will in general be given the benefit of the doubt.

I also believe the evidence of this is the rarity of benign but nevertheless illegal events being prosecuted. There have been a few but not enough to point to active targeting of minor misalignment with Arms legislation. In most cases I have heard of the police have taken an educative approach and informed individuals of their requirements.

Act responsibly, do what is practicable to secure your firearms, take vital parts with you, and I think you'll be fine.

Section 3.1.6 of this guidance does provide some assistance but still doesn't cover/allow for when you might be absent from temporary accommodation: https://www.firearmssafetyauthority....e-guidance.pdf
