Thread: Firearms Storage Inspection ....

As I keep repeating, you are either "FIT AND PROPER" to have a firearms licence or you ARE NOT.
There are not levels of "Fit and Properness" as some would have you believe.

Personally I think the Mountain Safety Firearms lecture is too biased toward hunting and does not properly cover all firearm types/ actions.
I would argue a licence holder SHOULD know how to check a firearm OF ANY TYPE is unloaded and safe ( I include handguns here even though most FAL most likely will never need or have the opportunity to handle them they shoudl still know how to check they are unloaded and made safer)

I do not agree that a simple locked wooden box is a suitable "secure storage" for any firearm but nor do I think an "E" spec'ed safe should be mandatory for an A Firearms licence.

My view is if you are FIT and Proper you should be able to own and use any firearm for whatever (legal) purpose you wish but it should be secured against theft to a better std than we currently have.

It makes not a jot of difference to me what it looks like, all firearms were originally designed to do the same thing.

If you are stupid or foolish and bad things happen deal with the consequences then. I don't like people stopping me from doing something just in case some idiot trys it and get hurt.

As you can guess I am a big supporter of the Darwin Theory, best way to thin out idiots is to let them do it themselves, its cheaper.
