Mr Brit,
My glass fronted gun cabinet is fully approved by my local firearms officer to hold my Section 7.1 weapons. They are no good for Section 7.3 weapons, as they must be held in designated places, and not at home. These cabinets are not cheap, and it wouldn't be worth buying one to hold replicas or de-activated weapons.
My interest is in early semi-automatics, which luckily fits the Section 7.1 criteria. For a pistol shooting enthusiast, like yourself, it must be a frustrating business.
To the respondent who said that the UK law could be changed, I'm afraid you don't understand the anti-gun culture that exists over here. The laws have been getting tighter, and if some policemen I know had their way, they would be even worse. And it is the police that the law-makers listen to when drafting up legislation. So the chances of getting a more liberal gun-owning environment are precisely.....................................nil.
