Thread: Safe place to store ammo?

A random check means just that, a random check, not a search of the house. Two very different things. Just as Police don't have powers to search the boot/glovebox/seat pockets in a vehicle to check the WOF is up to standard or a child is correctly restrained.

I assumed your comment to mean no spot checks full stop including traffic. My bad for assuming.

They're not good assumptions you've made as they have been shown to be incorrect.

So do you feel that your privacy of having to let a person into your home to confirm your firearm storage is up to standard is more important than the potential good of what random checks would achieve in keeping firearms out of the hands of children and criminals?

Personally I can't understand how somebody could be offended by a random check for firearm security, if a cop turned up on my door randomly to check my security I would be more than happy to oblige and would find it reassuring that people are being checked, however I've never been checked.

Back on topic. I store my bolts in a different safe to my rifles even though my safe has a seperate lockable compartment. I do store the ammo in the lockable compartment though. I know I don't have to remove the bolts by law but I see it as a responsible thing to do and I would hate to know that some burglars got away with some operational firearms if they took my whole safe, if they could lift it. Bolts are a lot harder to source than ammo which can be easily shoplifted.
