gun dreams

[Geordie_Rob]

As far as I'm aware dev, it's based on trust. The police trust you not to abuse the limit they set, bearing in mind you've already convinced them you're trustworthy enough to own guns & bullets in the 1st place. There's the obvious incentive of avoiding prison to help you abide by the rules.

They're allowed to come & request to inspect your security arrangements at any reasonable time, or so I was informed so the risk to most people with an ounce of common sense is far too big to take in order to store a few extra rounds.

As always, if you're that way inclined, there are ways & means to get around the rules (illegally) but it's not worth it for me personally.

As for holding/using limits, what is mentioned on your cert is the maximum you can possess away from a range at any one time. When ammo is purchased at a range to use immediately, there's no limit. At least at the club I shoot at anyway.

I'm by no way an expert, so please can someone correct any/all bits where I'm wrong.
