Thread: Re-licencing.....

One question that caught me out for my renewal was 'what happens to your firearms if you die....' answer was my mate with his license knows where the key is and will inherit all my firearms as partner doesn't have her license.

This one is why its a really good idea to get your partner to "license up". Their reason for a license could even be "in case something happens to XXXX I will be able to leave his gear secured and deal with it at a later date" when everything settles....

I would imagine that scenario would only come about if one had a copy of the will stating so...even without her having a license they would become her property and disposal would be up to her...unwritten instructions go out the window at death.

I am going for my fire arms licence this Friday. I have passed the theory tests and the mountain course we have to do. Just have the interview to go..Should be a interesting experience , Hopefully I pass the "fit and proper person" test .
Secured my gunsafe to the wall last night and fitted locks. Mind you its a homebuilt wooden gun safe so will be interesting to see if that passes too. Its at the top end of the scale for a wooden safe though.
anyways just my two cents.

Same here
My mate with Bcat and C cat has his spare safe key in my safe and I have mine in a place where he knows how to get it

If anything happens to me he knows to take my stuff and hold it and can sort it out without the fear of legal action and mine for his - I'm currently in the middle of sorting out an estate and please remember people - leave clear instructions with people that you know and keep them updated
