Thread: Firearms Storage Inspection ....

1) For the Arms
2) for the ammunition
3) for the bolts.

I had her up on this - asking if this is something that has changed, as my safe passed inspection the first time.

She says no, its always been like this ...

The joke is , she give me a copy of the arms code .. NO REQUIREMENT in there .. only that arms are stored seperately to the bolt + Ammo

Opinions ?
1) How do you store yours ?
2) Whats the word of law ?

This whole arms act being open to interpretation is just a complete joke.

... Tim.

Get a holder that fits to the side of your bed, in the states the public are buying 2 , one for each side of the bed, so mum and dad both have a shotgun available for home defence, wonder if they store ammo separately? crazy anyway
I have a small safe inside my gun safe for bolt and bullets, is this okay?
