Cabinet Requirements - Edinburgh (Lothian and Borders Police)

[freid]

Moving to a house in Edinburgh, and will be getting a new cabinet as my old one is staying put. Was going to get one with an internal lock box for ammo (how I currently use and Forth Valley lot have been happy with that arrangement), but wondered if anyone in Edinburgh can let me know if they've had any issues with the FEO in terms of keeping ammo in an internal lock box rather than seperate ammo cabinet. Just don't want to buy the wrong cabinet. Thanks.

Give Ed a call at the gun shop - he will set you straight.

I moved into the Lothian and Boarders area recently. FEO was spot on, and happy with an internal lock box.

both are fine provided are the cabinets meet regs and are secured correctly.

Will likely be a Brattonsound RL7+ and will be very secure - have got a very spot for it lined up.

Thanks guys.

My cabinet has internal locking compartment for ammo etc, never had a problem with Lothian and borders police with that in over 20 years.
As the cabinet is filling up with rifles the ammo box is getting tight for space also.

Only comment you may get is if you have asked for more ammo than the FEO thinks you could reasonably store in the internal bit.

As per another recent thread on this topic, get as big a cabinet as you can afford, or even get two. I moved house across Edinburgh and didn't take the opportunity to upgrade my cabinet space and am now regretting it.
