Police safe inspection

[bullzeye]

Cops didn’t even touch my safe.

They just wanted to see the guns and check the serial numbers.

Didn’t even ask to see where I store the ammo.

But they were both constables. No experience. I had to explain to them what a snap cap was.

Will be the luck of the draw who rocks up to your house. Prepare for a savvy officer who knows all the rules and regs.

Yep, depends who you get. The cop who wrenched on my safe looked like he was smelling something bad the whole time he was in attendance, and finished off by remarking "What do you want guns for anyway?!" lol

I bet the LAC trot him out for all the firearm inspections

on a serious note one thing I heard on the grapevine is certain states registries are sloppy with their own paperwork. Cops hitting the same owners for inspections in some areas just because they know their own records are correct for that person. It would be interesting to know if there are any external audits done of their systems to make sure they are running the whole thing effectively...

They asked me the same thing.

“What are your guns for?”

If you say personal defence, or some other unsavoury answer - your guns will be taken on the spot.

The correct answer is:

Target shooting
Hunting
Collecting etc

Your genuine reason.

Pretty obvious (hopefully).

Be careful mate - it’s NOT that obvious.
If you are asked for your genuine reason - you can ONLY reply as to what is EXACTLY on your licence. If your licence says you have a 12g for hunting reason and you enjoy target shooting a few clays and say so to the wrong person, but aren’t endorsed on your licence for targets - you’ll lose your firearms...

I would have told him a snap cap is a type of butt plug
Probably the only question I would have answered actually

Sure, but he wasn't asking what my genuine reasons were. He was asking (in a bit of a belligerent tone) why I wanted to own guns AT ALL.
