Makes me wonder how that would play if the driver doesn't have a FAL.

I think the answer is in your statement? As under your logic there shouldnt be a gun in the car as he has no license, nor aware of the rules hence it is responsibility of the FAL in my view

You make alot of sense. I think I remember reading somewhere that if your controlling a car you are responsible for everything in the car and the car itself. Hence why if it's not registered or warranted the driver gets the ticket, not the registered owner.

I could be wrong

In certain circumstances you are liable as the driver, and in other cases not. Seatbelts over the age of whatever it's on you not the driver, under the age you as driver are responsible for the kids being restrained. Commercial vehicle, if carrying DG's you can be driving without a DG endorsement if the guy sitting next to you has one and the correct licence. There's a few other things like that, so I'd say if you are driving a car without a firearms licence but the passenger is licenced then you aren't committing any Arms Act offences. The firearms licence holder would be liable for any transgressions in the state and security of the firearms though.

Um, if the car isn't registered or warranted the driver would def. be getting the invoice. If it's not registered, there isn't a 'registered owner'...
