    Hey lads , moving house shortly. Whats the procedure for notifying the guards that my guns are moving to a new address? Also the father has a single barrel shotgun registered at the same address. I have an o/u and a 22mag. Ok to have them all in the one house? Only difference now is his will be in my safe instead of broken and scattered around the place.

    There should be no problem, if your 22 is non-restricted. The law for

    One restricted firearm or three or fewer non-restricted firearms.requires that
    Each firearm shall be stored securely in a gun safe which complies with BS 7558 and which shall be securely fixed to a solid structure.

    Under your existing licence you are obliged to tell the issuing authority of any changes in the details you supplied, so a change of address falls under that. You should write to the station who issued you with the licence, with a copy to the guards in Wickla, saying that you are moving from X to Y, that your guns will be stored in Y and that you have a safe installed there.

    CPO will probably want to inspect the safe in the new house; apart from that it's fairly painless. Most Supers wouldn't have a problem with decisions made by other Supers on licences.

    Only moving about 2 miles so hopefully should not be a problem.

    If you're not leaving the garda district, it should be even less painful - they can amend the details quite easily. The CPO might still want to see the new safe though.

    Is the FCA2 the correct form to use for change-of-address in this case?
