looking after a shotgun

[stef]

hi all a friend of mine is going on holiday for a week, he is asking me to keep his shotgun in my cabinet would that be ok

Should be unless you go out in the road and shout. ;HEY' EVERYBODY! I'V GOT MY MATE'S SHOTTIE IN MY CABINET !!!' In which case it would be very silly

you should be all right or you could keep the barrels at your house and the action at your mates but you should be fine

You must inform your FAO, maximum time you can have somebody else shotgun in your possession without informing your FAO is 72 hours

Most local fao will say up to a week on a loan then really should be on your certificate,it will be safer in you cabinet with them being away

You can borrow someone elses gun for up to 72 hours without putting it on your certificate or informing the police.

 

I would prefer to stay on the right side of the law. Even more so when shooting is under threat

and legitimate shooters need to do all they can to keep their sport going.

Tell him to store his own shotgun. Youve got enough anxiety keeping your own shotgun. If it gets nicked it gets nicked, he will have done his best to make sure its secure so the problem would be between the police and whoever might nick it!

Or put it in to a local RFD to Store
