It also has the advantage that if I forget something (bolt ammo or something else in the cabinet) or I lend a rifle to another hunting mate (or for any other reason) I can call an ask her to get them out for me. That completely negates them bothering to ask "if my wife knew where the key was kept" as the answer would be "Damn straight she does. Her one is in there too....

Just saying.....

Great idea mate. I do have someone in my will to "hold" my firearms until such time my son is properly licenced. All my kit is willed to him.
