Thread: Firearms Storage

Can anyone direct me to where storage requirements are spelled out as to what is and isn’t acceptable.
All I’ve found so far is .

“ You are required by law to have a safe and secure place to store your firearms at your premises. Store firearms and ammunition separately, out of the reach of children, out of view and in a secure room, rack or cabinet approved by your Arms Officer. “

There must be a more definitive set of rules and regulations than that , I must be looking in the wrong places .

Does your storage have to be made of metal ?

We will be doing renovations soon and I would like to have a built in cabinet made for my rifles instead of my current gunsafe .

I know years ago it was acceptable to have a locked cupboard etc , but I’ve had a metal safe for years and have not kept up with what’s acceptable and what’s not in regards to non metal storage.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
