Thread: New version of the Police's firearms secure storage guidance

If a thief can break into the main gun compartment then it obvious that the little internal lock box can be accessed. Therefore it's reasonable to expect that ammo should be stored elsewhere or the firearms made inoperable.

I agree totally that the word 'should' is not the same as 'must'. Disappointed that this security update is not more defined.

I suspect its enforced policy rather than legislation. Again.
