Thread: Question: Retaining a licence with no firearms but without secure storage facilities

A couple of points, here.

"Arms Regulations 1992, Clause 19: Conditions relating to security precautions

(1c) the holder must take reasonable steps to ensure that any firearm in their possession is secured against theft:".

Why is there an assumption that the holder of a firearms licence actually owns a firearm?
Surely, a firearms licence is issued to a "fit and proper" person, so that that person MAY use a firearm without the requirement for immediate/one-on-one supervision?
In the same way as a person can be tested for competence and issued with a licence to drive a motor vehicle. It is NOT a requirement to own a vehicle.

Remember to make your submission for consideration during the re-write of the Arms Act.
There are too many conflicts, and anomaly's, such as this.
