apache Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 When I installed a second cabinet I was waiting nearly 2 months before they came for a quick rattle of it. So long as the guns are locked up there is unlikely to be a problem - you have proved yourself competent at fastening a cabinet to a wall before [i assume] so I'd actually think this would go down as low a priority as they can make it!

Dekers Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 When I installed a second cabinet I was waiting nearly 2 months before they came for a quick rattle of it.

My original FEO on my first application had to be persuaded to look at my cabinet, (to be fair, I had known him through my rifle club and my Dad for years before this), he just wasn't interested. Two house moves on and two further FEO changes, and the addition of two further cabinets (3 in total now) inclucing various cabinet changes along the way, has not persuaded ANY FEO to check any installation of any cabinet since day one! Again, a regional thing I suspect, my people seem relaxed about it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redgum Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 They can be abit long winded, when I moved the FEO came out to do the 'rattle', he also looked at what type of windows and the general security. Decoy mad, you've done your legal requirement of informing the Firearms dept of your moving so the rest is their problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ste12b Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 When I moved several years ago, the updated the cert and never came around to check the cabinet Have just reapplied after letting it lapse for a year or two and I know around here they will definately come around for a look and a bicky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluke2 Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 So why send in your old certificate leaving yourself without one, all I do is advise them of the change of details i/e address they then issue a new certificate, sometimes by hand and inspect the cabinet other times it just comes through the post to the new address Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No paperwork required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
