Mr gen Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 I will be moving house soon. Staying in the same town so no change to police force what are the rules for the installation of my Gun cabinet? Do I inform the FEO of the new address before I move? Is there a time limit as to when it should be installed i.e. out of the old house into the new? thanks in advance for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 Move the cabinet soon as you move. Install it and secure your guns. If not possible you could ask friends to store your guns for a day or so.then just inform your from of your change of address. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have 7 days to inform them you have changed address. Ive moved twice in the last year, and tend to leave the cabinet till last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duckandswing Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 I moved a week ago. Just made installing the cabinet and moving my guns a priority. Installed it straight way and then e-mailed the police firearms on the Monday after I moved on the Friday. They’ve read the e-mail but as of yet no correspondence from them.

Normal, came out to me 3 months later ! Ive heard sometimes they dont bother inspecting it at all. I will say though, that each time theyve come out, I get like a mini interview ( could just be Notts that do this) and an inventory of guns and ammo.

Renewing now so we shall see if I ever meet my feo. Anyway first thing I do is when moving is choose where I want my cabinet, a tidy spot and get it in and fixed before the sofa or bed.

Cheers all this makes the most sense. we get the keys to the new place 0n the 4th and don't need to be out of the old for about a week so this will give me time to find a site for cabinet and fix It, then inform the FEO of our move. 3 hours ago, Duckandswing said: I moved a week ago.

My advice is to move the cabinet when you have made your new place 'liveable' My rule is where my cabinet is , I sleep, then inform the FEO. That way , your guns are most secure, and you shouldnt fall foul of any issues regarding security. 3 minutes ago, TIGHTCHOKE said: You should get an automatic receipt but can also add read/receipt to your email sending settings. This. Doesnt mean they have read it , but its proof you sent it, just in case you get the ' You never informed us' bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I will put read/receipt setting on as when I bought my last gun I never had a reply to my email it always left me wondering if they ever got it.

panoma1 Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 The F & E dept of my police area are not up to much on record keeping....when the FEO visited due to SGC renewal, he asked me where two guns were, that I no longer owned!.....luckily I had copies of the emails I had sent them informing them I had disposed of them (many months previously!)..........I got the feeling he was disappointed! 😔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
