Breastman Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 (edited) Why would they? He hasn't doen anything to warrant it. J. The police taking 'precautionary measures' when it comes to firearms requires neither evidence or proof of guilt beyond reasonable doubt if stories you read in the shooting press are to be believed It happens. I remember a story in the news a few months back about a woman who was threatened by some gypsies (one armed with a chainsaw IIRC) tresspassing on her land. When she reported it in, the police came and seized her shotguns. Guess they don't want people, as they would say, "taking the law into their own hands", or god forbid legitimately defend themselves against a violent attack. That is also the example that sprung to my mind, except it wasn't the person who was directly involved with the gypsy incident, it was someone ELSE who just happened to live in the same property (her son i think).

minghis Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 FEO is, as already done, is the best advice. I wouldn't bother with the 'ordinary' police, to understand the situation you're in requires intelligence and understanding. From all dealings I've had with them unless you're incredibly lucky you'll get neither. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catweazle Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Take all Guns and ammo down to your RFD,he may charge you a small fee(if you know him well enough)and do it NOW....oh and don't forget to mention what you plan on doing to your Firearms dept,they will need to log your actions,you will then get a letter of confirmation from them...been there and done it.! That would be my course of action too. I would inform the FEO that I had done it because the ex is unstable and aware of firearms in the house, and that I had removed them to prevent the possibility he might try to get hold of them.
