So a pretty bizarre series of events have unfolded and I am going to try to explain what happened and how ridiculous it is.
A friend of mine has moved from NSW to QLD. He forgot to renew his license for QLD in the 3 month period
![Crazy :crazy:](./images/smilies/new-crazy.gif)
Now, the NSW copper told him that while he waits for his license, he can store his firearms in my safe.
QLD cops told him that he in fact CANNOT store them in my safe. It has to be either a dealer, or police station. They were hounding him, calling him every few minutes to find out exactly where the guns were, and exactly how far away they were from my safe.
I get a call from my local cop shop asking if I have his guns, and if they are in my safe. They asked for my name and DOB, but no license number? They then said to sit tight as they had some paperwork to do, but they will be around to pick them up in a few days. Fair enough.
This all happened a month ago! I still have the guns locked up in my safe, but I haven't received any other contact from the cops regarding the firearms.
So I have a safe full of guns, perfectly stored with action locks and all, that the cops were meant to take a month ago. I'm hoping that they dont try anything funny, like pinning me for possession of unregistered firearms or something!

The rules are so bloody strict that even the cops have a hard time policing it! It is pretty hypocritical demand us to follow the rules to the letter, when they seem to struggle to themselves. As license holders, im nearly sure we wouldn't get a month worth of slack!
Anyway, time will tell.
