My father (who recently passed away) had this happen
to him, his cert was in for renewal, day after expiry
the uniform local inspector and another uniform turn
up and demand to inspect his guns, after comments about
how clean and well looked after they were etc from the
other uniform, she (the inspector) stated that she could
see no reason why someone would want all those guns and
they would be taking them with them as no cert was in
force.
Dad produced the letter which stated that if the paperwork
was in then there was no need to lodge the guns with an
RFD and told them to leave and come back with a warrant!
Next morning they arrived mob handed, warrant in hand at
10:00, he'd been with his usual RFD at 8:30 and was
waiting for them, they tried to snatch the RFD's receipt
(unsuccessfully) and had to send a car to check all the
guns were lodged.
The firearms inspector called at dad's place (after his
death and having had dad's cert's handed to him several
months before) recently to remind dad that he needed to
get his application in for renewal before the due date,
seems they can't even keep track of who actually alive,
let alone who's got a certificate....
Niel (I found the visit quite funny, though I wasn't
there my brother is a real wind-up artist and had them
going round in circle's...even the 3, YES THREE, uniforms
sent as back-up with the inspector thought it was funny!).
