Thread: FAL licensing question

Hey. I have a mate who is moving to a new job. Part of the job is pest control (shooting birds). I've never needed to know (as I always intend to own my own rifles), but does he need to have personal physical secure storage as part of his licence for a firearm? Reason being he does not intend to own a firearm (and then no longer requires a safe etc) as his employer will store and provide rifle as and when required. I have seen this question come up twice in two separate instances and couldn't answer for sure. I can have a DL but don't need to own a car. Why would it be different with a FAL?
