I'm not implying there is anything dodgy about the rifle just that they could have put a bit more thought into photo location. It is live just, incase the ad goes. I'm really surprised that the police weren't called out.

Nothing illegal but unwise, putting it on a wall for all to see could get you in trouble its not exactly the same bellow but if you live in that house you are advertising you have a firearm in the house. The bolt also looks to be closed another bad idea, i would not be happy if it was pointing my direction, or towards my property.

 

 

A firearm certificate is conditioned to require that “firearms to which a certificate relates must be stored securely at all times so as to prevent, so far as is reasonably practicable, access to them by unauthorised persons.

Beyond this, every instance is different but if you post pictures of yourself with your firearms on social media and someone can then search to work out your location then this is obviously unwise at best. Depending on the individual situation, carelessness on social media could lead to revocation as a breach of the conditions of your FAC as above as it could compromise your personal safety and security of the firearms.

I'd like to say 'does it matter', but sadly in this day and age, it does. All my neighbours know I have firearms as I live in a relatively small very rural community, and no one has complained, with the exception of a neighbour who moved here from London, but it's not really wise at best to advertise the fact you own firearms by ( in this case ) perching one on your garden wall aimed at a neighbours house across the road.

I would say he was very lucky he didn't attract someones attention.

Me neither. Very lucky not to get the wrong attention.

Where I live that would mean a visit by a heavily armed unit in short time. I don't think it was his best idea to display it on a front garden wall either for his own security arrangements or the neighbours' hearts. No good assuming he is safe and sensible because he might not be and in any event assuming is what gets people in trouble.
