New alarm requested by firearms licensing.
Just had a letter and long-story-short, due to the number of "weapons" I now own, or can own after recent variation, I need an audible alarm with dial up facility.
I already have an audible alarm but where am I going to find a 516K dial up modem?
Has anybody else had this?

I was told that Northants policy is anything over 9 then an alarm is required.

Re: New alarm requested by firearms licensing.
Most modern alarms can connect to your phoneline so they can dial/text a number. If you’re upping security, think about a camera setup that can email you when triggered and you can live view anytime. Keeps my FEO well happy and I probably have an above average amount of boom sticks.
Re: New alarm requested by firearms licensing.
No idea what the threshold is here.
I don't have a landline, probably need a GSM system.

Re: New alarm requested by firearms licensing.
I had an FEO say that when I moved into the area. 'due to the number of your guns, you will need a monitored alarm'
knowing what the law says, and that it is down to risk, not number of guns, I asked 'Is the crime that bad around her then that the risk is high?' he looked a bit worried for a second, then said 'oh, no, it's quite low round here, I'm sure your alarm will be fine' and signed off, and handed me my new ticket.

When guns are outlawed, only Outlaws will have guns
Re: New alarm requested by firearms licensing.
I forgot to mention, in the letter it says if I don't install said alarm and my rifles get accessed by unauthorised scrotes then I will be prosecuted as the alarm is now a condition of the certificate.
Re: New alarm requested by firearms licensing.
Report it to and ask advice from whichever shooting organisation you are a member of.
Sounds like more backdoor restrictions.

Yeah, I think I'll call BASC in the morning.

Re: New alarm requested by firearms licensing.
The Home Office guidance suggests that over 10 bangsticks moves you up to Level 2 (i.e Alarmed) security. The actual number depends on various factors, including crime rates.
Some areas it may be 10, other areas it could be 2...
