I don't think that is the same as the law saying you can take your guns anywhere you like.

You were fucking stupid to take the gun, even in a bag, into a supermarket. Doing that makes all gun owners look like irresponsible dickheads.

Taking a gun into a supermarket to buy alcohol DID risk your licence.

If I saw someone with a gun in any shop other than a sports shop, I'd call the cops too.

Not the best example given - but there will be times when on an extended journey that you cannot satisfy the law without taking your firearm with you: everyone needs to piss, eat, sleep etc. Even you could fall foul of the law as it stands.
