There lies a problem "reasonable person" you are making a judgement from a knowledgeable firearms owner. try and put yourself in the shoes of an 80 year old granny with bad eyesight. Or a young just out of giggles 18 year old blonde girl. Have you seen some of the young on TV these days some are real clueless.

Ah well, I've already bought mine. I will stick it in the cupboard if it proves to be an issue.

I'm betting each state would be different too?

No, might need to get it registered and then hand it it for destruction.

Good news, looks like the only exception I could think of, the overall length, is what LRD have determined. Nice to see a bit of common sense from them given how nuts they've been lately. Might have to buy one myself now, can go on the wall next to the obsolete bolt actions seeing as we are not allowed to display deactivated here. Cheers

That's good news. A bit of common sense for a change.
