Thread: Support for tighter Acat storage

My key point is, the flimsy wooden cabinet was no match for the crim and he had access within seconds. The ammo was also stored in an open cupboard above the cabinet. Obviously this theft had the potential to result in a tragic disaster. Luckily it didn't.
I agree with Maca that the minimum security requirements should be raised, for the community's sake as well as to protect our investments

Hunt4Life, thanks for bringing this case to our attention. Some points.

1. Too early to say, "luckily it didn't", don't you think?

2. Minimum A-cat security requirement by law is "sturdy construction". How does this case demonstrate the law should be tightened?
