Is anyone running a Rifle Repository in the UK?.

[Gingercat]

Just wondering, but if you went down the 'Registered Firearms Dealer' route, in order to build a collection, would you not have to be seen to be actually 'dealing' - is there a minimum number of 'sales' or transactions that you would have to demonstrate annually to have 'good reason' to be a 'dealer'?

As has been mentioned before, 'security' is normally an issue and becoming a RFD would probably require a rather more enhanced level of security (although I haven't studied that 2005 booklet lately). An intruder alarm is my next hurdle, to grow my collection beyond 12 firearms.

Collecting is one thing you wont get an RFD for, it is for trade and not collecting and covers all aspects of the trade, and in the business plan submitted with an application it gives the issuing force an idea of the area you will trade in.

security is the main issue as you say, again it all depends on what area of buisness you are in, I,m on the repair/ restoration and building side of things, and use my RFD as part of an engineering business. My storage is limited, but dont have any stipulation on my certificate regarding this, but its down to common sense, and trust, trust being the main part of the RFD.
