I break my gun for my gun cupboard - presumably I pull the trigger twice before breaking the gun and putting the 2 parts away?

I have spoken to my insurers who have confirmed that my Browning is covered for both theft and accidental damage in and out of my home - my contents policy has a max of Ł2500.

As to public liability - there is also cover up to Ł2m - should (for example) a golf ball brain some onlooker, passer by etc. Negligent use of the shotgun causing injury is therefore covered.

I have asked the insurer to make a note of my gunshot ownership on the policy. In my (and their) opinion seperate cover is not necessary.
