WelshLamb Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 As per title, how long does it take for the FEO to visit and check my cabinet? I'm with Gwent Police Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 Best bet is to give them a ring and ask them, some forces rush to check others just take there time.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deershooter Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 Lincs always check up when moving but due to work load could be within 3-6 montha Deershooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DNS Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 Good question. I've just moved from Lancashire to Cumbria. I've notified both forces in writing, spoken to both and they confirm my address on the PNC has been updated. Cumbria say they will visit and re-issue my certificate, but nothing yet. Only one month though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverhawk Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 So when you move do u have to store firearms with rfd until cabinet is inspected? Or just bolt to new property with firearms and notify change of address? I will be looking into moving soon and dont fancy leaving my firearms with an rfd .

Haven't done it myself but i think goes like this: Guns etc out of cabinet into your possession, cabinet into removals vehicle with tools, to new house and fit cabinet, guns back into cabinet, letter to FLO advising of move (pre written) dropped into post. Rifles are trickier but for shotguns I would drop off with a mate night before (72 hour rule) collect after move and cabinet fitted. (thats my plan anyway!)

This could start wondering and opening up a bit, but put simply, you DO NOT have to store your firearms etc in a cabinet all the time. You have to take all reasonable precautions for there safe storage! Move, install cabinet as soon as is practically possible, it is NOT necessary to lodge firearms with anyone (unless you think this process will drag on), if you can install your cabinet in the new property in a timely manner you can store the guns under the bed, if that is the most appropriate secure storage you can arrange in the short term. Think on, you go on shooting holidays etc, and possibly store your guns in the hotel bedroom or car boot or whatever, you DON'T rush off to find the closest RFD to arrange storage with him! ATB!
