Newbie to this Posted December 29, 2023 Report Share Posted December 29, 2023 I know someone who has both firearms and shotguns in a mobile home, he did have a custom safe made though. As has been said, a call to your forces firearms team, will give you the answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I've come across this before for a caravan - which is just a mobile home without an engine - and at that time at that constabulary the answer was OK but the cabinet must be secured to the chassis.

Scully Posted December 29, 2023 Report Share Posted December 29, 2023 If it’s acceptable that you can leave your firearms in your vehicle overnight, I can’t see why you couldn’t securely store them in a caravan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robden Posted December 30, 2023 Report Share Posted December 30, 2023 I used to live on a boat a few years ago. Before setting off, I asked my FLO this question. He said that provided the gun was made secure, it wouldn't be a problem. BUT, I would need to notify the local police, if I stayed in different counties for any length of time.......so I didn't bother and gave up my SGC until I returned back to land.

Rock_n_Roll_Outlaw Posted January 1 Report Share Posted January 1 I lived in a static caravan a few years ago, due to lack of space I fitted a cabinet horizontally on the floor fixed to the caravan frame, in an attempt to hide it I modified a sofa with storage space beneath it so that the cabinet fit. This was satisfactory to my FEO at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
