    My experience and sevral of my friends was you apply as you do for any other firearm, and that is it! I had a long history of owning rifles and shotguns, never caused the cops any problems so they just granted me a 40 cal licence rapidly. They have no idea at all of the security that I have, alarm safe etc. Ohter people seem to have to spend a fortune on security (even cctv!) and join a club. It seems to depend on where you live, how bothered that perticular firearms officer is, and the humour of that individual on that day!

    Before you ask I have extensive security, I believe that all we all should to protect our sport
