Just Quick check gun cabinet

[Sterry 0]

Im about to bolt in my gun cabinet and i've chosen the spot. I have chosen a corner in my room (with a brick wall on two side (one exterior wall one interior)) and i aalso chose this spot so the cabinet can be seen from the houses over the back (theres trees in the way but better safe than sorry).

 

can any of you see any problems with this??

 

 

thanks alot.

They like it if the cabinet cannot be seen from outside the house, otherwise sounds ok.

Is there any way you can move the cabinet so it can't be seen from outside. Or something you can put over / infront of it?

Yah. Bolted to a solid wall out of sight is what they want. Rawlbolt it to the back wall and you're well legal.

For firearms this is the vague nonsence that bands throughout the firearms rules 1989 'firearms... must be stored securely

to prevent, as far as is reasonably practicable, unauthorised people taking or using them.'

 

Where I live the conditions the police set out make it impossible to fit into a modern timber-framed house (which the majority are round here )

 

What you've described sounds good, depends really on the copper who checks the storage as part of your cert. application. Make them tea/coffee when they visit & ply them with as much cake as possible. Try not to twitch too much & salivating about guns always looks bad... but hey they gave me a license, woo hoo

Dont i know it, i got my SCG when i was 12 and just to makes sure my ma piled on as much tea and bacon sarnies as possible. 4 hours later and 2 loafs later my licence was in the bag lol.

tea & cake seems to work a charm! hope the fitting goes well.

Mine is fitted to the brick chimney in my timber-framed house using 4 rawlbolts M 8

 

The FEO also said fitting to a load boaring solid wooden beam using coachscrews would also be fine.

 

Basically you can you use anything, you just need to make it secure enough.

A mate of mine put a floor safe in the garage. Set into a 4" concrete base it wasn't going anywhere short of taking a Kango to it.
