Qld and in particular NSW Firearms legislation mentions Locked Containers when defining transportation methods in vehicles.
Canopies are now popular but are absent from the legislation terminology.
Here I refer to a lockable canopy with whaletail style locks plus padlocks that can go though the whaletail outside hole, it has two side doors and the canopy is bolted onto the tray of a dual cab ute. It weighs over 250 kgs empty.
Could the canopy defined as an an ipso facto container or would you need another small container inside the canopy to comply with the definition of a container?
Would it make any difference if there is a bed inside the canopy?
