In a locked "key cabinet" but with a label on the keys that says "Garden shed" rather than gun cabinet.
Of course. I have a small safe with a combo lock for the guns and I wrote the combo on the top frame so I wouldn't have to remember. Actually, I don't even lock it most of the time since it is such a bother to open.I keep my keys in the gun cabinet door that way I can always find them and not forget where I have put them................common sense really !
I have resentley changed my system I have started locking the keys in the gun safe ! Much safer and I know where they are !Of course.

That looks a good bit of kit but I had a large safe in my workshop for keeping test gear in. One Monday morning I came into work and it had gone they had used a JCB to smash through the doors and rip the safe out of the concrete floor taking a large chunk of concrete it was bolted to. It weighed around 2 tons so similar to yours.., Google Tann TS4
You should never leave your keys in a jcb that's your fault !That looks a good bit of kit but I had a large safe in my workshop for keeping test gear in.

Tales of True Love are always so heartwarming!!!Let's face it, if I died tomorrow the last thing on her mind would be what to do with my guns, she'd be on the phone to my life insurance company and ordering in a case of prosseco before I'd gone cold.
Just to be clear, I did not suggest a friend or a member of the family should have access, clearly that would be against the law unless they are also certificate holders as I saidMy FEO told me I was the only one who should have access to my guns. I'm responsible for them and not even a friend or member of the family should have access to them.
Hubby and I are both certificate holders, and keep our guns in the same cabinet. The FEO who visited us, and knew that the cabinet contained both our guns, didn't suggest that there was a problem with that.So from what you're saying, your FEO would require you to have two cabinets if your Wife was also a shooter? Does anyone actually do that?
The FEO knew my wife wasn't a certificate holder and he was speaking about my individual case. I'm sure if she was a cert holder it would be different but it does throw up the question of say she had a certificate and had one gun on her cert, and I had a different one on mine. If we kept them in the same cabinet and both had access would that be breaking the law as we'd both have access to a gun which was not on our licence?Just to be clear, I did not suggest a friend or a member of the family should have access, clearly that would be against the law unless they are also certificate holders as I said

Many married couples tend to have their shotguns on each other's licences in my experience, it just makes life easier.The FEO knew my wife wasn't a certificate holder and he was speaking about my individual case.

Yes, you can only have access to guns that are on your certificate, if you share a cabinet you should both have all the guns on your cert.The FEO knew my wife wasn't a certificate holder and he was speaking about my individual case.

You can have duality of certificates for which is there is no charge, my Dad and I have this even though he is the other side of the country, just means that if we look after each other’s houses we can use the cabinet.The FEO knew my wife wasn't a certificate holder and he was speaking about my individual case.

I suspect that an properly preserved appropriate body part required to open the safe would suffice but whether or not that would constitute the license holder participating may be questionable.In respect of what happens when or if you go belly up.... How does this work for biometric safes?
You can put a note in your will informing the executors/family/pet hamster where the key/keys are and it can then be opened in probate. Pretty standard.My FEO told me I was the only one who should have access to my guns. I'm responsible for them and not even a friend or member of the family should have access to them. I was speaking to the wife last night about what happens if I should die. I said to her to phone the firearms licencing guys and inform them. Then have a hunt for the keys and ask the local RFD to take charge of them, he'd keep her right on what to do.
