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.

And when I drive to the Toby shoot later in the year? When I'll be driving for about 9 hours plus a 4 hour ferry ride. Will I have to make sure I don't shut the door when I go to the toilets? You think that when I feel the urge along my journey I will have to turn around and do home so I can lock my gear away? Who is the idiot? The guy around here that had his face shoved in the dirt for carrying a rifle bag on his back!

Sometimes the law is an ass and you simply have to work around it. If you can at least show you have tried to comply as much as possible you should be fine.
