Along the same lines as the op though, I'm very careful even loading my car for the range to ensure noone sees me with rifle bags ammo boxes etc. I reverse my car up the driveway and open the back-door to block the view.

I was told that as soon as I got my first cat c firearm I’d get an inspection. Two years down the track since then and I haven’t.
Things like a change of address will sometimes trigger an inspection too, but it just seems so random. Different people have different stories, there doesn’t seem to be any real set rules.

I've just applied for my A&B license and submitted a permit to acquire application, now I am thinking if/when the cops will show up to check the gun safe,
what I am going to tell my neighbours when they'll ask what the cops where doing at my place?
yes I have nosy neighbours and I don't like to advertise that I am getting license/firearm at home... pretty sure someone had same issues
