Thread: Do gun safes have to be bolted to the floor or wall?

Hi guys,

Forgive my ignorance here. I'm a novice shooter looking to get my own licence finally.

Always went out with the old man growing up and used his guns but now live in Auckland.

I've been looking to get a safe as part of the licensing process and I was wondering if they have to be bolted to the floor or wall to pass an inspection.

I have a really strange shaped flat and my main storage cuboard is triangular and I'm a bit concerned about being able to bolt something far enough into the cuboard to actually get to the beams in the wall.

If a safe just needs to be locked, then I think I'll be ok.

Anybody know about the rules for Auckland?
