They are allowed to do spot checks i think to make sure the placement of ammuntion is safe.

but thats all i think

I think that they are allowed to call anytime to do spot checks so its adviseable to keep everything locked away when your not using it mate keeps everyone safe ,and gives them nothing to hold against you when you renew

Not sure what made you think this but the situation is...................

 

They have every right to turn up whenever they like, but they have no right to enter your home for the initial interview unless you decide to admit them!

 

If you already have a firearm the police are entitled to enter your home at all reasonable times BY LAW!!!..but only to check on your firearms and ammo and security.....but lets also be realistic about this..if the police find one round of ammunition out of place your whole house can be legally turned over!!
