Question in regards to storing shotgun
Hi everyone,
I’m 19 and currently in the process of applying for a shotgun certificate. I regularly go clay pigeon shooting, usually almost every weekend, and I’ve been given permission by my parents to have a shotgun for the hobby.
I have a couple of questions that I haven’t been able to find clear answers to, so I’d really appreciate any advice from people who have been through the process.
The house is my parents’ property, and I’ll be the only person applying for the certificate. Would it be acceptable to have the shotgun cabinet installed in a spare guest bedroom, assuming it is properly secured to the wall/floor and the keys are kept somewhere inaccessible to other people?
Secondly, during the FEO visit, would they have any concerns about the room the cabinet is located in being a guest bedroom? The cabinet would be upstairs rather than on the ground floor, so it wouldn’t be in an area that the majority of visitors would normally have access to. Obviously, I wouldn’t expect guests to be going through wardrobes or into the cabinet area anyway.
I’d be grateful for any advice or experiences from people who have had their cabinet installed in a similar situation.
Thanks in advance
