vampire Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 There are aproved methods that lock gun to wall,am sure this is what he meant and its legal as long as its out of sight of general public etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC45 Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 A lockable cupboard or wall lock would be ok. It just gets complicated when he fancies another gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperfection Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 I guess it all comes down to different forces and possibly how secure the property is. When i was a kid,my dad used to store his guns in the wardrobe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDAV Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 (edited) In the documentation it does say for a single gun a gun clamp or other suitable device may be used but with 2 gun breakdowns going for £50 S/H and 4 gun full for £80 buying something like http://www.chamberlock.com/ seems expensive especially as if you have 2 guns they aren't happy about having 2 clamps. I like the chamberlock and almost bought one for use in the car. The only clamp i can find is this one http://www.micksguns.com/images/cabknoll.jpg which i don't like the look of. VEry much down the FEO i guess Edited February 25, 2010 by HDAV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cabinets specifically are NOT a legal requirement...what is, is SAFE Storage, generally this is accepted to be a Cabinet to BS7558:92. However>>>>>.......... Home Office Firearms Law Guidance to the Police 2002 (the Bible) 19.28 "When only one rifle or shotgun is held and a low level risk is involved, gun clamps or similar devices or arrangements may be adequate"!!

robmiller Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 (edited) When we were on the farm, one was kept in the shed and the other was kept behind the back door. Oh how times change.

BlaserF3 Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 I have seen a small bed room turned into an armoury. Steel sheet was on the door and surround and the locks and hinges were strengthened. He fitted an alarm gun on the top of the door as well.

Robbly Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Sorry I don't mean to thick.....but if the FAO says you don't need a cabinet ....you don't need one..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Sorry I don't mean to thick.....but if the FAO says you don't need a cabinet ....you don't need one..? correct but you do need secure storage, which can cost as much as a cabinet and is more limiting....Why spend £60 + to secure one gun when you can secure 4 for the same money (secondhand cabinet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abiteachuck Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 I agree better to get a cabinet, and if I were u I would get at least a 4 gun one, this hobby is addictive and you can soon fill them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 I agree better to get a cabinet, and if I were u I would get at least a 4 gun one, this hobby is addictive and you can soon fill them up. Sound words...too many fall into the trap of buying too small, a little bit of future proofing is a good idea!!! And if you are looking for a Cabinet I will do my best to help..... http://www.djsproducts.com/ Give me a shout if anything takes your fancy!!!!
