No one suspects the Spanish Inquisition!

So has anyone had the knock on the door yet from the police to spot check your firearms, we are one week into the great inquisition!

[Strangely Brown]

The honest truth is they are far too busy dealing with everyday crap, I think the only time you will get a visit is when an "ex" wants revenge or you really are supplying people with something you shouldn't!

Knowing your "legal" is a comfortable feeling.

I am ready for their arrival, boxes of used cartridge cases lying around the gun cupboard to give them a bit of excitement before the reality of failure rips their souls asunder.

Eggs :lol: :lol: good one.

Oh give it time.

Remember a few plastic genades, candles wrappedin brown paper fromthe £1.00 shop with wire or string coming out, preferably alongside your Westclox or old mobile phone and a Johnny Seven gun - let's see what "expert" they call to determine if THAT lot is safe!

In the meantime do not fall out with ANYONE who knows you have guns, is a raving liberal antigun nut or is just a spitefill pig/cow as the case may be!

I recently changed address and sent my certificate off along with a covering letter and a week later I received a letter saying that home visits for a change of address were no longer routine and could I fill in the enclosed form to confirm my security arrangements were adequate and my firearms/ammunition were stored securely and not in a cardboard box under the stairs.
I filled the form in and returned it and lo and behold my new certificate came through the letterbox yesterday..........surely this would have been the ideal opportunity to carry out a visit, have a brew and a chin-wag and as they didn't for this I can't see them going out of their way to do an unannounced visit unless there is a real good reason.

Well I am disappointed, I thought at least one of our merry band would have had the boys in blue round by now.... On a serious note, make sure you have all documentation handy for deactivated firearms, have the Home office Sec58 obsolete ammo guide handy etc ....

I can see someone getting into bother with sec58 inparticular, they will have a full on heart attack if you have a .44 Russian Smith & Wesson or Colt antique revolver in your home. sign01


Also, just try explaining to the Police what inert display ammo is!
