I understand where you're coming from. However, jumping on a keyboard and denigrating the police because you read things on an internet forum which may or may not be true is irresponsible behaviour IMHO. It's been my experience that some people always blame their unfortunate situation on somebody or something else. How hard is it for someone to sort themselves out with decent security? Instead of just meeting minimum "A" cat security, wouldn't it be better to well and truly exceed it? Sure, it's going to cost money but so do a lot of other worthwhile things.

Some people, it would seem, like to fixate on one small issue and miss the big picture. The big picture surely is having good firearm safety practices and that includes strong security for our firearms and a gun owning public that works with the police to achieving that for the safety of all of us. The police are only human, trying to do the right thing, they sometimes make mistakes, who doesn't? If a particular AO or firearms vettor doesn't see it your way, discuss it with them and if you can't agree then you have the right to take the issue up with their superior officer.
