allme Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Could someone help me out. I am hoping to stay away for a clay shoot but Iam not sure how I can secure my gun for the overnight stay in the B&B, I do have a tool safe in my van but would not leave it in the there over night. how can I keep my gun safe and secure if there is no gun safe in the B&B and stay within the law.

al4x Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 leave the forend in the van safe then the rest take into your room and either hide or use a trigger lock etc to chain to the radiator or something hard to remove. You just need to take reasonable precautions, splitting the gun so effectively it can't be used is one of the best measures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloke Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 If you do this regularly, maybe a gun safe in the van and/or something like the secure gunslip that Napier do, maybe make your own, after all, it is just a takedown gunslip with a hole in the side and a dirty great steel u-ring and washer through the trigger to a security cable/lock. Or, as has been said, spread the parts around and carry one essential with you, to make the gun unusable. They only expect 'reasonable' precautions, but you dont want to be the test case..

CharlieT Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 We have many guns visiting during the season who stay in local hotels etc. Our advice to them is to keep the fore end separately and as Alex said chain the gun to a radiator or something else substantial in their room. Do not be tempted to secure it in your vehicle in case the vehicle is stolen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbiep Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 If I'm away from home with a shotgun for a couple of days, then unless on the way to/from shooting : Barrels are in luggage in B&B / hotel Stock is in the car Fore end is with me.

jackinbox99 Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 As others said, take the forearm off and keep with you, then chain the gun to either a radiator, or the bath handle if it looks strong enough. Id be tempted to keep the barrels hidden in my car and chain the action up in the hotel room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
