Lads anyone know the answer to this one. My son is looking to buy his first rifle, can it be stored in one of my safes or does he need his own which only he has access to. I know up in NI that is the case, but I can't see anywhere that mentions it down here. I have room in one of my safes to store it and they are alarmed…

Safe, House Alarm etc all exceed the standards but I would have access to his rifle and he to mine.

A letter from you to say he has your permission to store it in a safe in your house will suffice. I stored mine at the home place for years because the security was so much higher than my own place. I was only asked for this type of letter in the last couple of years, but once i gave it there was never an issue.
