The only reason I became aware of this new rule about transportation of firearms is because I spend a little bit of time on this forum. for anyone else I am unsure how they would ever know this rule change came into being. I am curious what about this lack of knowledge about this rule change surprises you. Was info sent out to all firearms owners, did I somehow miss getting that. How did you find out about the rule change.
Please understand I am not being critical of you personally, I am genuinely interested on how this info was published in such a was that all firearms owners are expected to have received it.
Cheers.

Yep, it needs every license holder to be notified. Otherwise people will get done for it because they didn't know

They managed to get in touch with everyone when the buy back was going on.

No they didn't. They cocked that up too.
