crocket Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Hi I been lucky enough to find a Devon farm cottage where I can shoot pigeons whilst on a weeks break. Problem is storing the gun for a week with no safe. I use a triggers lock but not sure how I stand legally. Any info or advice is most welcome Cheers Crocket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 According to the police a locked car is OK for temporary storage, This was in several of the shooting magazines just recently. Cheers Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nppulse Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 if you do leave your gun in your car, remember to remove the forend or bolt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 I had a similar situation about 7-8 years ago and rang my FO to ask his advice. He said that as long as it was for a short time, the gun was stored in three pieces (he knew it was an O/U)and in seperate rooms in the accommodation, it would be OK. He did have to ring me back, so I got the impression its not something they are asked very often. It might be worth giving your FO a ring. Sounds like a nice holiday setup, all you need now is a nice trout stream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocket Posted May 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 Thanks for the advice and I will speak to the FAO The cottage has 2 fishing lakes and a small river which is a tributary off the river Taw and has a salmon ladder but not seen any salmon. Oh yes a pub nearby PS I am allow to shoot as a family friend therefore is not open to all but is a great stay and the cottages go quite cheap on Ebay.

Lord Geordie Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Hows about a bike lock,the plastic coated wire cable type pushed down the barrels?Just an idea. This is the idea I use i have a wire bike lock and a pair of eyelets anchored to the floor of the car in the boot. Makes a good makeshift security set up Also you can buy a break down cabinet and have THAT fitted into the boot of your car also That way ANYWHERE you go you will have adequate security LG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
