Thread: Firearm Storage Requirements

I appreciate the reply, and I applaud you for thinking as you do.
Problem being, you're a firearms user outside of the police force and that means you understand the problems that we can come across.
The same cannot be said for every other police officer, some who don't even know the laws themselves. There have been countless examples on this forum and others of police failing to understand and using the wording of the legislation to how they see fit.
One example as of recently, which I will link for reference is where the police took a mans firearm and firearms licence from him for shooting claybird with his shotgun in a rural area on private property.
There were no charges (yet?) and he has had his belongings taken from him.

Then the Sarg asks him if he had a secure lockup in his ute for it to get it there, now all of us know that's not necessary to transport an A class firearm, but the Sarg didn't seem to.

This is one recent example of many, I'm not going to say you're wrong about anything Savage, but I will say I disagree about the arms act being written very clearly.
I hope if I ever have an encounter with the police related to me using my firearms lawfully it's with you or someone as knowledgeable as you about firearms.
