Thread: Police doing a 3 yearly check of my safe for my E Endorsement?

In terms of security nothing has changed for me, but I said ok. Any thoughts on this you guys? Cheers

Yes that is normal

They can only inspect your storage and endorsed rifles so if they ask to inspect and record any A-cat firearms that you have then they are just trying it on - if there is a bed near the safe you might want to make a point of putting several rifle-shaped objects under the covers as that is none of their business...
There will be an interview section and they interview your partner separately with the usual "Does he drink" "Ever had blackouts/dizzy spells" that sort of thing - assuming you are not single

If you get pistol endorsement then inspections become more frequent
