They said no, it's for knives, GPS etc only and ammunition should be in a seperate secured steel box in another part of house (another room, in roofspace etc). Said steel ammo box or steel tool box, mini safe is ok. Said have another for the bolt. Said preference is for 3 locked locations e.g. disabled rifle, ammo, bolt. Said I should be only person in the hosue who knows where the keys are & to add disposal instructions to my will during next update, plus in will say where the keys are located. Seems a bit OTT but that's what I was told today.

I have found generally the interviewers/ security inspector generally suffer from bouts of "making shit up on the spot" I have always countered with " I have mine secured according to what the the Arms Act says and if they are not happy with that then they could get the local AO to give me a call so we can discuss.......................never had a call yet

Actually I think my security is a bit OTT but I like my stuff
