Ammo Storage NSW

[bladeracer]

Then the cops don't understand explosives safety. Full stop.

To clarify. They might prevent a theft but cause an explosion when it could have been a small fire.

Rule 1 for explosives is never confine.

I agree, I was merely correcting your perception that it could never happen.

That's OK Bladeracer.

All I'm saying is if you confine the ammo it's less likely to vent more or less harmlessly if it ignites.

Alrighty, so time to revive this thread... VIC specific question.

Think of Mosin ammo spam cans (something like this: https://s3.amazonaws.com/mgm-content/sites/armslist/uploads/posts/2015/10/01/4740116_01_7_62x54r_spam_can_440_rounds_s_640.jpg) . It has cartridges in it, but the thing is essentially a can, completely sealed and requires a special can opener or tools to open it.

So the questions is, does this qualify as:

(3) Any cartridge ammunition for the firearm must be stored in a locked container separate from the receptacle in which the firearm must be stored.?

For example, if I want to sit it on top of the safe, rather than wasting space in my ammo locker?

That is an interesting one
I think you'll need a written answer from Firearms themselves.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking going to happen... :/

Oooo also, how do I find the details (email) of my local firearms officer.

I think a good lawyer would argue that it it is separate. It is not contained within the walls of the firearms container storage. There is nothing in the rules yet that sets a proximity.

Since when does locked mean secure. You can lock your ammo in a backpack as long as it’s locked.

google Victorian firearms officer location list, its a pdf

JS, is this a test of some sort?

[juststarting]

Sounds like it, doesn't it. But no, just curious.

[marksman]

I'm curious as well

Oops, repeating myself again.
