is this wrong ?¿

[BDG]

So let me get this right - is it a good idea to go into a home where a person may or not be, where there may or not be a firearm, which, if it is there, is either in the hands of the person in the place, or in a BS 7558/92 approved cabinet which you will either not get into, or make a hell of a lot of noise and take quite a bit of time to get into?

No, its a bad idea. You may as well leave an A4 sheet detailing where you preps are in your pocket, so when you get shot, or your head bashed in, or whatever, someone can make use of your gear.

The argument of not having a SC or FAC 'to stay off the police radar' in this case does not weigh up. Stay off their radar for what? So they cannot confiscate your gun? Well, if they were confiscating weapons al la Katrina due to the fact their had been a disaster, or some kind of martial law scenario, they would have taken them from the people who hold licences who you wish to steal off. So you if you went into a house where you believed their to be a gun or rifle, changes are, it is already gone, or armed police are watching the house.

Now, if you worry they might take your SC or FAC from you because you engage in criminal activity, or you have a record that excludes you from an FAC or SC, you better get stocked up on alternatives.
