    Question FA storage arrangements when FAL holder absent from property...

    I've been looking for this information...and can't bloody find it.....man eyes no doubt
    My question to the wisdom is.
    If you're absent from your property overnight or for say 2-3 weeks....are you required to store your guns in another FAL holders safe or just leave them under lock and key at home?
    I'm the only FAL holder, so......
    expect nothing, appreciate everything - and there's ALWAYS something to appreciate

    Just got veted 2 days ago,you can be absent up to 30days at most.Or you gota register them in your good mates name with registry with his
    address of coarse.Until you come back from your 35 day overseas holiday or what ever other reason for being absent from yr address and do the reverse when you get back.Actually there's nothing to stop you coming home on the 28-29th day,stay one night and leaving again,just record yr visit and stay.If that's practical.
    DONT LEAVE THE KEY AT HOME.

    There is nothing in the Arms act to say if you are away from your Residence that you are obliged to do anything more than keep your firearms under lock and key.
    Giving/lending/storing them at another place for 30 days + , just kicks in the registery obligation .

    Cheers, good to know, I have the least keys possible as even my day to day keys put themselves faaaaaaaaaaar away from where I think I put them!
    Hence gun safe is double combination lock

    Apart from the obvious of not "leaving the keys at home", the above statement begs the question - "show me the rules".
    It's all well and good that some vettor opined that you have to do something if/when you are going to be absent for 30 or more days, but why would you have to transfer to another "keeper"?. Presumably your storage has been deemed to be compliant - if so, and you are the only person, other than the vettor, who knows of your security and its contents, what is the problem? Is this a case of the vettor telling you something that is his interpretation/opinion, or is it legislated. "Show me the rules"!.

    Indeed, what is the legislative device used to provide for the term 'you can be absent up to 30 days'?
