    Would be a game bureaucrat to try taking your licence over a empty ammo box or gun bag.
    Although I agree it would be anguish I could do without.

    I've heard stories from some old guys that used to jump on the bus with a rifle back in the day and no one raised an eyebrow

    When I got my first rifle in 1970, in chch, I went to the cop shop to get my permit, walked to Tisdales (?) got my firearm, strolled back to police hq to register it, then back to my car. No eyebrows raised then, either.

    I have heard of people being reprimanded for having an empty ammo box visible in their vehicle.
    People need to grow some balls and stand up to bullshit intimidation such as this.
    There was a guy in Fendalton a few years back that got the full Armed offenders response when a numpty called the cops on him "carrying a firearm in public"....I use quote marks as once they stopped him they found out the near new gunbag had been purchased via trademe and coincidentally the seller was less than a block away so he walked. Bag was apparently folded in half while walking ......

    I can almost understand a overpaid numpty who knows nothing about firearms potentially being scared by a cammo piece of cloth.....but the AO squad should have known that way before they got that close.....

    Please bear in mind this was published in the Press so like all media some of the veracity has potential for Editorial (artistic?) license....

    Pack and rifle were left unattended at the railway station while you wandered off to the local "milk bar" or pub. Crime hasn't increased since those days?

    I used to carry my recurve hunting bow, unstrung but visible with a quiver of arrows in the metro in Paris on my way to the train station for the weekend.
    The funniest was when I switched to the compound bow, because that one could not get untrung.
    I remember a particular morning in the metro where a very worried gentleman came to ask me if it was the same bow as seen in the Rambo2 movie shown on tv the night before. To which I said, not the same brand but yep it can do the same damage. But I only hunt 4 legged animals with it.

    These are things you could not do anymore nowdays.

    Younger Brother picked his first centrefire rifle up on the way home from school in his uniform. No drivers license yet at that stage so walked from Gunshop to Dads shop in town holding it and went home with dad after work.....

    My 10c and anyone in the know please feel free to correct:

    If the case conceals the firearm then the firearm is concealed as per law. As has been pointed out, this is not a particularly effective way of concealing a firearm. When one reads into the intent of the law, it is to avoid people knowing there is a firearm in the vehicle when it is left unattended.
    For at least 25 years The arms code has provided similar guidance for leaving a firearm in a vehicle where this is the best option in an unforseeable circumstance.

    Putting the technicalities of the law to the side for a moment, I don’t leave items visible in my vehicle that suggest the presence of firearms because it reduces the chance of someone breaking into the vehicle. When I leave a gunbag in the vehicle to go hunting, I fold it and put it under the seat, otherwise it looks like there could be a firearm in the vehicle. Same as not leaving any other valuables visible in an unattended vehicle.

    You could have a firearm in a case in a car and be compliant or you could have a firearm in a case in a car where the case cant be seen and be compliant plus reduce the chance of vehicle break ins.

    As for covering a case, an oilskin coat works pretty good for that, I just keep mine in the vehicle and it comes in handy for rainy days too.
