Not so long ago I had a pamplet sent to me from the Queensland WLB.
Titled "Firearms Storage" "Legislative requirements for Cat A, B, and C firearms storage".
Apart from seven of the usual requirements, part #8 states, and I quote
"Firearms must be unloaded and the bolt must be removed or action broken for storage.
The bolt is a major component part and is subject to same storage requirements as the firearm and can be stored with the firearm."
I took this part about the bolt being ok to be stored with the firearm up with our local copper.
Upon further enquiries he said that, "the bolt is considered to be a firearm itself, and therefore it should NOT be stored in the ammo compartment with ammo."
( It is about here that I have a mental picture of some-one holding a .308 cartridge in one hand and trying to fire it with the bolt in the other hand)
So the weird bit is that it must be removed from the firearm, but can still be stored with/alongside the firearm.
I do not fear death itself... Only its inopportune timing!
