    The State of Queensland went one better than that.
    If you leave your vehicle unattended, meaning more than 3 metres from it, in any "road related area, including car-parks", you must lock it. Windows must be closed to within 5 cm of being fully closed.
    Curiously, it is not a requirement to lock ones home when absent from it, although you might have difficulty with your insurer if claiming a loss because of theft.

    Unless it was a caravan, I'd say top effort to whomever managed to nick a whole house

    He will have to make good any holes etc when he leaves

    If it introduces a dynamic into the flat, that might be another issue
    Sorry but you are wrong, the landlord can deny you permission to install a gunsafe.

    Just put a gun rack up hidden in a cupboard somewhere. I wouldn't even ask really. Never did when we were renting. Had a big safe in a cupboard. Regular inspections and they never even looked in any cupboard and they shouldn't really. We just made sure it was all tidy and back to how it was when we bought our own house.

    Trying to goad police officers who are members on here into responding is very likely to get no response as I'm sure like most government agencies police are likely bound by a code of conduct that precludes them from speaking about operational information publicly or on social media.

    No hate guys but arguing about this kind of stuff on here never ends well.
    In reality is it really that hard to have a padlock and chain around your water heater or a shackle fixed to a truss in your roof space if it is indeed a requirement ? I'd be inclined to do either of those before handing in my FAL with the current format and amount of mucking around it takes to get your FAL reinstated.
    I mean even having a gun rack securely mounted to a stud in your linen closet or built in robe would be compliant if done properly and easily removed and no evidence it was ever there if you moved out of said rental property.
    It seems to me like it would be very easy to comply with the secure storage component quite cheaply and effectively if so required, but it's much more fun to argue about it on the interweb and make ourselves look dumb instead of fit and proper
    I don't agree.

    The Police who enjoy this site either support the changes or do not. Discussing their point of veiw is not breaching their code of conduct any more than discussing an increase in Green fees at the local Golf club does.

    It's in their contract like defence that they can't. Basically you can't criticize or state your position on the organization publicly.

    I believe for nzdf the charge was bringing the service into disrepute

    Thats it.

    Discussing a topic and voicing your support or explaining your reasons against would not be bringing the organisation into disrepute?

    End of the day its up to them.
