Just going through my renewal paper version had an email today asking to fill out a security form can't even open it is this security form to do with where your guns are kept or what cheers

- Thread starter Benelli m2
- Start date
That sounds like the part they ask for location of cabinet, type of bolts/fixings used etc
On the electronic version of the renewal form a number of questions are included regarding the security arrangement for your firearms and ammunition:
What is the file extension of the security form attachment to the email, when you download it to your PC? It may be a PDF, but if it doesn't have the PDF extension then you won't be able to open it.
- Tell us about the cabinet (make, model and BS number), construction of the surface to which the cabinet is fixed (brick, stud wall etc), and how the cabinet is fixed (bolted (size of bolts), welded, adhesive etc.
- Are the security arrangements at your home address?
- Is the security shared with another certificate holder?
- Do you hold ammunition?
- Please provide information about where and how the ammunition will be stored.

Hi
I would suggest when you are able to open the form, you may want to establish if the form that is being asked to be completed is a legal requirement.............if not then you may want to leave aside.

PS - I didn't return a similar form that came with my renewed certificate - as it is not legally required.

Sounds like more unfounded mission creep.

Hello, It saves the FEO a visit to see where you fix the gun cabinets, Make sure your Key box is in a seperate room, Mine is in the bedroom wardrobe bolted to the wall

I sure as hell wouldn't divulge where the keys are kept, especially as most key safes are far less secure than the gun safes.
And now we all know where it is, as does any casual visitor to this site
I've never even told my FEO where the keys are kept. There's no reason for him to know.

Yes, I don’t get challenging something like this regardless of legality. I just filled out, quick chat over the phone then renewal arrived with variation. I try to maintain a good relationship with my FEO and so far no dramas

Same here, I had the keys in my pocket ready for the visit.
It is my responsibility to secure the firearms, and the safe keeping of the keys are covered in 2.3 & 2.58 (amongst others) of
Firearms security handbook 2020
The firearms security handbook provides guidance on storing and transporting firearms.
