Home alarm permit application

[ejhc11]

Hi all,

I just got a self install home alarm but my city requires it to be permitted with the local police dept.

On the application there is a line if you have firearms to disclose.

Just wanted to know if you guys disclose that info on the alarm application.

Thanks...

I don't recall, but if it did, I told the truth.

Don't want cops not expecting me to be armed, and shooting me by mistake.

I have to have an alarm permit as well. Just re-applied earlier this year. However, there was no such question on the application (Los Angeles).

Can you leave it blank and submit the forum? Or is it a required field? Don't know how I feel about that one. I

Although officers should never assume a bad guy is unarmed, I was told that officers responding to a burglary are more "hairs up" if they know there is a firearm in the home...burglar could grab it n all.

I would put it in. It's not like They don't have the info anyway.

Ok, thanks everyone. I'll put it in just in case they get a hold of anything and used it against the Police.

They are secured but you never know...

What happens if they deny your permit application?

There was no question about Firearms on my San Mateo County Permit

What happens if they deny your permit application?

I doubt if they have ever denied anyone. It is for gathering info to help when responding plus a few bucks for the city.

Seems reasonable. And reasonably likely to ruffle the tin foil hats of many a Calguns member.

And they get to revoke it after a few false alarms.

What city does this?

A permit for your home alarm? Like "Please, my master bureaucrats, will you take my money and allow me to secure my home and protect my family and belongings?"

What a joke our "free" country has become.

My city has that same permit mentioned on their website. An alarm was installed in the past 6 years. Never filled it out. Officers have been dispatched to my home since then. No one ever asked, "you got a permit for that?"

Keep your money and get the alarm installed.

I disclosed my firearm, I figured the responding Officers might take the alarm more seriously if firearms are at risk of being stolen, might not come into play but it couldn't hurt.
