I thought I had better check on disposal when LFO dies.
This is from the Arms Code.
What to do if the firearms licencee dies
As a responsible firearm licence holder, you need to make
provision for the disposal of your firearms before the event
of your death.
It is your duty to inform your next of kin and legal
representatives of how to legally dispose of the firearms.
These arrangements consist of advising the local Arms
Officer of the death and surrendering the firearms to the
Police, a dealer or another licence holder until provision
can be made for final disposal.
If you own a pistol, MSSA, or restricted weapon, your
personal representative, or any other person who takes
possession of the firearm, must immediately notify the
Police of
(a) The death; and
(b) The location of the pistol, MSSA or restricted weapon.
Prompt action must be taken to ensure that these types
of firearms are all accounted for and are transferred to a
person with the appropriate endorsement type and security
