Big Marty Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Was thinking of putting the gun cabinet into a small out building,now I know it has to be under the roof of the house and of block and cement but is there anything else they ask for. Iam in N.I by the way...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Can't comment on the NI bit but what about damp? I doubt they will like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ordnance Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Not sure. What it says on the PSNI site. It is your responsibility to ensure that your firearms and ammunition are stored safely and securely at all times. You must take any necessary steps to prevent unauthorised access, so far as is reasonably possible. A gun cabinet is required - specification BS 7558 (1992) - and it must be secured to the fabric of a building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cottonseed Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Out of the way of casual visitors as well. I don't know whether you live on a farm, or not, but a friend of mine who is a farmer was asked to move his cabinet because of the number of people he had coming into the farmhouse kitchen past the cabinet. He rents out stables and has a procession of reps,horsey people etc., and the FEO didn't like them being able to see the cabinet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could he not have got an old upright fridge freezer and put his gun cupboard in that - would have blended in nicely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastiebap Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 How far is it from the house? They will insist that the doors and windows are of the same quality and type as a domestic dwelling. Also no exposed eaves internally, there should be a seperate ceiling. FEB might also insist that the out building is separately alarmed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Marty Posted September 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Have just had visit from local Firearms and although the building is under the roof of the house and is very secure they said it was not suitable because you have to access it from outside..Ah well worth a try..

The bar and padlock would've been a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
