Thread: Support for tighter Acat storage

I agree about tougher penalties however, the Arms Act is certainly not strict enough (as you put it) on A-Cat security. Way over due for a total revision. I've seen many hundreds of pathetic, yet currently legal security set ups for A-Cat firearms. That being so there must be many thousands of similar dismal security arrangements throughout the country.

One pleasing aspect is that the younger generation, newer licence holders are generally far more likely to have decent security than many of us older goats in my experience.

Whether it be a car, electronic data, money, or firearms. given enough time and skill, it WILL be taken. Lets start punishing the pricks with a meaningful sentence.

So you're quite happy with the current A-Cat security laws because the police in your opinion are corrupt? That even beats my wife's logic.
Well done.
