I've done a little bit more shooting since my first post. I have decided what to buy. The only thing left is to receive permission from my mother. (my dad left me this undaunted task. I'm pretty sure when I do get her permission, he's gonna go get his PAL, but he's leaving that job to me)
Long story short I have her pretty well convinced but her final concern is something I can't seem to find in the books.
If/when the police come over to check my firearms. What do they do and what rights do they have? I mean, can they just show up unannounced and go "Surprise, we're gonna inspect if you store your stuff correctly." and when they check do they go directly to where I place my guns (ie basement) or will they have the right to search the entire house to see if I am leaving my guns lying around (which I won't). Also if they DO show up unannounced and at the moment I am not home and the only one with a PAL will they make my mom take them to where I store my guns (which I will definitely not allow her or anyone who does not have a PAL to access).
Finally this one is just some suggestions and those guys at the gun shop seem to never try to sell. I'm looking for a gun safe, non of the stack-on crap which I found I could open with a screw driver. But any safe I look up is way over priced. Off hand from what I've tried and what I will get I know will get 2 handguns, HK P2000 or P30 (.40) and Beretta PX4 (9mm), and eventually 1 or 2 rifles I was wondering if there is a gun safe someone can recommend that is a little more economical for the little amount of guns I will own. Also can I actually use something like a sentry safe, the ones for offices?
