5a) Transporting firearms and ammunition
Even before you buy your first firearm you need to know how you will carry it home and where you will keep it. Once you leave the dealer’s shop you will be carrying
your firearm in a public place and possibly on a bus, train, aircraft,or inter-island ferry. Bear in mind that it is illegal to carry or use a loaded firearm in a vehicle. Remember also to make sure the action is open when around other people.
You are strongly advised to get a padded cover or hard case in which to carry your firearm. This ensures the firearm is protected and stays in good condition. It also makes it less obvious so is less likely to alarm other members of the public.
How this thread came about is a customer walked into the shop, with a gun in his hand, I asked him politely if next time could he please cover it up, always covered when bringing into the shop, he said , I will take my gun elsewhere and walked out, this is his choice, to put things into prospective, at the time the shop was very busy 50+ customers, 11 members of staff ( most would not know one end of a gun from another) .
To those who say it's giving into the political correct, this is not the 60s , most people don,t expect to see a gun brought through the door uncovered, jez I can remember putting my gun behind the counter at the local pub, try that today. But alas some people, seem to want to fight common sense all the way, and buy fighting it, give the anti gun lobby more ammo to demand more controls on us.
But this story has a good ending, The said customer went to another shop, went in and informed them he had a gun without a cover in his ute, he was given a gun slip to bring his gun into the store, so perhaps there is hope for us yet.
years back i was a regular at a pub on banks peninsula having been out bunny slaying. the cook saw a hare in the next field and in her broadest cornish accent calimed " i wouldnt mind that in the pot". she called the farmer on the property who told her " kill it". i wandered thru the pub with my trusty 10/22 nailed it and dropped it on the bar.
no issues at all from the regulars (famers types) apart from the comment "good shot"
nowadays expect aos
I know a guy who would carry guns in and out of shops uncovered, clearly advertised he had a gun and got ripped off by the dodgy gang members who saw him in the car park and followed him home, beat him got access to his safe and cleaned him right out all because he was a nob carrying his firearm round for everyone to see. ya see some times the public are not good people
Hope they choke on all the ammo they got.Quote:

I often carried firearms in soft gunbags. One night I was running late for the bus and ran across Colombo Street with my usual gun bag and was spotted by a beat cop. He came onto the bus and asked (not unreasonably) for an explanation which I gave him and then asked for some ID. All I had on me with my name and address on it was my licence to Carry a Pistol. He gave it back, half-saluted and quickly got off the bus. That is the only time I have been quizzed when carrying firearms in public.
Got stopped by a local cop once as a youngster of 18 or 19, carrying an air rifle in a duffelbag on a footpath. Told me to get a proper case that covered the muzzle and recorded my details and the calibre - just in case he had to go enquiring about some pellet vandalism. Could and would have thrown the book at me if he'd been a dickhead or if I had mouthed off at him.
I see no reason not to have your gun(s) in a case other than being a miserly bastard. Carrying them uncovered to make a half-baked political point is just dumb.

I wonder then, if that is half the reason for encouraging LFAOs to use a gun case, is there a market for gun cases that don't look like gun cases?Quote:

I like this one, room for all the extra bits too. Add a pair of padded shoulder straps and it's perfect.
Nice? :XD:Quote:

Forgot to mention an upside. The AOS might start giving buskers a hard time --- and we'll have our streets back.Quote:
