So, currently have everything you could think of in terms of a divorce so I put my guns in storage back in December.

 

Had a call from fao to ask if I fitted my cabinet and my answer was no.

 

His reply "its dragging on too long, you have the weekend to fit it"

 

So im due offshore monday, fitted it, solid to the wall but I ran out of packing timber and you

can get fingers behind cabinet.

 

he can come look at it, but will he revoke my ticket or ask me to make ammendments?

Whilst you might think the FEO is being unreasonable, he might well say the same of you. In his eyes - whatever your circumstances - he might think you are stalling.

 

It is hard to credit that you can't get a piece of timber from a DIY shop or friend before Monday.

 

Just do it - problem solved.

I'd ring him back and tell him that the guns will stay in storage untill you are set up properly, he is being unreasonable in my opinion

There should be no way he can revoke your ticket for having your guns stored safely and legally. You don't need a cabinet, fixed or otherwise if you are not keeping guns in it.

Technically you don't need one at all, you have to show you have taken reasonable measures to keep your guns safe.

What I'd like to say is tell him to **** off, as written above the guns are stored safely and legally. What's the problem?

Interesting this one as friend of mine was told he would not get SGC unless he fitted cabinet SGC different to FAC, are the guns on the other FAC holders ticket? With you working away and not being at home for long periods i can see the point of storing elsewhere, is the issue that the FEO thinks for 4 months you have been getting them from storage when back at home and keeping them at home overnight?

all i can say i ring him and say i reefer to the home office guide lines and it don't mention needing a cabinet its down to me to keep my gun's safe i have fitted a cabinet bolted and started to pack it with wood but cant finish it into your back next and to be honest most gun cabinets i could get into with a axe or hammer and screw driver in less than 5 minutes as most good metal tool box's are safer and better made than gun cabinets

Spoke to him on monday before I came offshore, hes going to have a look and let me know what needs doing to have it signed off

 

Yeah, they're on my uncles ticket in his cabinet

So why is the officer being so pushy? Technically they are your uncle's guns until you have them signed over to you. In my opinion the feo is being a ****.
