    I submitted my licence application today.

    In the section asking if you have conformed to necessary storage arrangements, why is there no option for not requiring to keep the firearm in your home? If you wanted to keep the firearm at you club for example.

    There is - right below where you marked Yes/No for compliance with the storage requirements. (Curiously, they don't provide a space for you to say where the other location is!). The compliance refers to where the gun(s) are stored - not necessarily your own house.

    :confused:

    Not to be a smartarse here:D, but.....did you not want to check this out before submitting your application, if you had doubts or a question in relation to the form? It's a bit late locking the stable after the horse has bolted.
    why is there no option for not requiring to keep the firearm in your home?

    There is.

    Page 4, Section 3.5 (bottom of the page):
    If the firearm will normally be stored at a location other than your home address, tick this box


    They don't have anywhere (on the FCA1 form) for you to state where this other location is - but this should (IMO) be included in the supplementary information you're providing.

    This advice may be too late to assist you - but it may help others.;)
