ShootingEgg Posted June 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 Level 2 19.33. Where the individual circumstances are such that additional security might be required (for example, a high crime location, building regularly unoccupied, substantial number of firearms on the premises, repeat victimisation etc.), in addition to the provision of a suitable cabinet, gun room or safe, the following may be considered: a) The final exit door locks should be to BS3621 or equivalent and any French windows/ patio doors should have an integral locking system or be provided with supplementary locks to frustrate forcible opening, together with anti-lift blocks if applicable; b) Windows on the ground floor and those accessible from flat roofs etc should be fitted with an appropriate type and number of locks which are self-latching or key operated. These should have casement-to-frame locking along the opening edge; c) An audible intruder alarm to the appropriate standard protecting either the whole of the premises or those parts of the premises deemed necessary; d) Mitigating the risk by dividing up the number of guns between several secure locations. 19.34. For these purposes, a substantial number of firearms should be considered with regard to the type of firearms, their potential danger if misused and their likely attractiveness to criminals. At the lower end the number might vary between 6 and 10, depending on the type of firearm concerned, whilst anything over 10 would rarely be lower than level 2. However, it is not enough to base an assessment on the number of firearms alone; all factors mentioned above should be taken into account. Sound moderators, spare barrels, spare cylinders and component parts should not be considered as part of this total. 19.35. If the certificate holder provides a different form of security which equates to that provided above (such as a reinforced gun room or other area), this may also be accepted as suitable. The comments made in reference to PVCu and other specialist products are also applicable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subsonicnat Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 I would take advice from BASC if you are a member as I do not think they can insist you have an alarm fitted. Depends on amount of weapons stored,I think it kicks in about 8/10 guns.. They all seemed to have adopted this figure roughly.. Alarms are only as good as your nieghbours reaction anyway,most ignore them totaly.. I do Not... Always look to check the property in question.. Doubt they would do the same for me though,sign of the times,sadly.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham M Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 In Staff's West Mid's they want an alarm as standard, and over 12 guns it has to be a bloody expensive "Monitored" alarm if you live in a less than perfect area. They can impose whatever they want really and if you wish to be a hero and fight it....................good luck with that nice extra rifle you always wanted.

Tom R Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 (edited) http://www.alarm-monitoring.co.uk/cms/?gclid=CNi8sunIis0CFcSRGwodP2QH_Q There are a lot cheaper places around. That's some gimmick monitoring that's not needed. Just get a few quotes from local SSAIB company's. We charge around £250 pa for police monitoring. BTW Alarms do work very well at stopping you being burgled. Edited June 4, 2016 by Tom R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
