       Hi all,  am only a couple of weeks in to my FAC application so
       getting ready for the long haul! Am looking forward to my HW97k
       Synthetic, hopefully!  My question is, if away shooting on
       another permission and having to stay away overnight, what is
       the recommended method of keeping a weapon away from home for a
       night, locked in the boot of the car?

       This subject can be a bit of a minefield. In answer to your
       question about storing in a car, this is generally a no go. Your
       car hasn't been approved for firearm storage, so it won't be an
       authorised place of retention. Retention being the key word
       here. You can transport firearms in many different ways,
       including the boot of your car. This is providing you are
       abiding my your certificate conditions. I.E secured to the
       vehicle etc. The question is at what point does the firearm
       become retained in the car? If you don't leave the car, you are
       technically still in possession of the firearm. If you do leave
       the car, you are then storing your firearm in contravention of
       your certificate conditions. I could talk for ages about
       speculative methods relating to your question, but what some
       people do is leave their firearm into the closest firearms
       dealer for overnight storage. Police stations may even
       accommodate this.
