    I have put one of those brackets as linked in our caravan, it takes a standard size padlock. Mine has been signed off by the arms officer.

    Right, the last time even the safety inspector suggested me that I can fix one there, no ones will notice. I will buy a gun safe anyway since I am going to apply for pistol license, and this measure only for couple months in this year. Thank you

    Good idea. But, as said I have to keep my stuffs simple, no more than a SUV load for now, at least for this year until my pistol license approved.

    May I ask how long is your cable? I have ordered rest parts, just the cable, like to know how long is enough for two guns.

    Battery powered angle grinder will go through it like shit through a goose.NZ police need reminding of this as reality is your security measures are desugned to impede theives progress more than anything these days.next time they inspect me Im gonna label my safes home dentention cause thats allf/a crime seemas to merit these days unless of course youre a long suffering FAL, BTWbuilding regulations expressly forbid anything being attached to walls intended for purposes of fire protection as i found out.wonder if the new amazing firearms outfit is aware of that wee gem!
    PS-the majority of my collection also have gunlocks just cause i like keys>

    Got eye bolt today. This is solid, more than required and I save 40 dollars by souring it else where.

    End of the day I thinknspend the best money you can afford to get the best security. These days as other Said a battery angle grinder will cut thru anything. That said of they really want it they will take it.leave a note ..all bolts removed and firing pins .firearms are useless. It's a shame we need to gw to extent to secure our firearms from criminals ..and if we don't we become one ourself for breaking the firearms act .

    Good, common sense advice including the idea of leaving a note, presuming the thief can read which isn't guaranteed these days with school curriculum's under Labour being what they are.
