hits the target by helping
to secure firearms
The National Crime Agency, the British Association for Shooting and
Conservation (BASC) and the police have collaborated to provide firearms
security advice in a document entitled ‘Protect Your Firearm, Protect Your Sport’.
The guidance advises that all firearms should be locked up
securely and hidden well when not in use, and gun cabinet
locks and keys should not be shared with unauthorised
people – including family and friends – for any reason.
In addition, the Home Office’s ‘Firearms Security Handbook
2019’ includes guidance on storing and transporting firearms
safely for all gun owners, as well as those with access
to firearms such as the police, museums and galleries,
and people storing firearms for business purposes. In the
‘Warehousemen’ section of the handbook, it states:
“In the interests of both
owner and company,
the warehouse
employees or others
should not normally
have access into
locked/sealed
containers. If this
is necessary, there
should be a system for recording:
a) By whom, when and for what
reason(s) access to the container
has taken place,
b) The result of any examination of
the state of the contents and the
notification made to the owner, or his
authorised agent.”
