Dont you think though that when you go past a waypoint of sorts in the rules like the above 15 requires an alarm thing that they would come out to make sure you comply. The change of address certainly triggers an inspection to make sure you comply.
Not my idea just what we have to live with. I dont think the people that make the rules think that over 15 is any more dangerous either. I think the thinking behind it is more that if you are burgled that over 15 posses a bigger risk to the community than less than 15. My reasoning behind that assumption is the requirement for an alarm. It has nothing to do with the person that is licensed. It is about putting in place more security to stop guns getting into the wrong hands.
The reason for this discussion is that if they are doing this at ten centrefires, or three of the same cartridge, they have no legal reason to do so, no laws have changed to allow them to demand additional genuine reasons because of how many firearms you own.
I do expect them to drop out to inspect me again quite soon, but it's probably more beneficial to "them" not to so that if our firearms are stolen they can throw the book at another shooter, and parade it in the media. I'm sure that's worth more points to them than my firearms falling into the wrong hands, since the wrong hands never seem to use our stolen firearms to commit any crimes.
