The response I received from the authority is "answer yes to the detachable magazine question."

Had an email from the Firearms authority today, because I moved house I had to register. Today they asked about visiting to check my storage but at my old address that got checked last year while having the caravan verified.

Well that didn’t take long did it?

Lucky you. I asked for caravan verification in April this year. Sent photos of my Jayco poptop. Local AO phoned me to say he understood the issue I was having re safe storage, would seek advice and get back to me asap. I’m still waiting.

Details such as addresses, names, and FAL numbers can't be easily changed by saying "Don't worry, we caught the offender, gave him/her an ankle bracelet".

We the leakee's can't easily change our address or what we have registered to us. Identity theft would be the best outcome in a situation that gives criminals access to all of our details and addresses. Who's going to step in when rural firearms owners start getting targeted by criminals intent on taking guns? The police wouldn't have time to respond, a fog cannon won't help, and god forbid you point as much as a pen at an intruder....

It just needs to be leaked once.

well well well

It's probably already backed up on someone's usb stick. I'd start asking your insurance companies if your firearms are covered for theft.....

@Maca49 Thanks mate. Not on here much anymore, life got... Interesting for a while. Still getting back to normal 

Doing a renew at the mo, bit concerning that safe details need to be disclosed , right down to ammo storage capacity

Clear amount of inconsistency - no interest in capacity of either guns or ammo - I only showed the second compartment for storage of ammo - no mention of capacity

I think a lot of these questions are coming from the inspectors themselves rather than scripted. Last renewal check I had he just looked at my safe and shook it, he didn't even look at the internal lockup. The only questions he asked were about how many firearms I had VS the storage capacity of the safe and would I be buying any more in the future.

I tried, apparently does not like any of my serial numbers.......



Must mean I am exempt

That’s not the part where you enter serial numbers. You need to enter a few details below that part then go back up and press the blue button to search for the type of firearm. Then select the relevant one, then you get the option of entering the serial number.

Did you put "depends on type"?
