Cops I've raised this with see my point but (as one would rightly expect them to) come back to the fact that the law... is the law.

Obviously police discretion is required big time, so "passing the attitude test" is important. Which brings us back to the matter of that bong...

Legally meant to lug it with you?

Not being allowed to leave a gun unattended is not the same as legally meant to lug it with you.

If you were that worried about not breaking the law, why wouldn't you take the gun home and lock it away before getting fish and chips?

Only a fucking idiot would think they should take their gun with them shopping, rather than take it home first and lock it away.
