I wonder how far you have to be from said vehicle before it is considered unattended.If I can still see the vehicle whilst purchasing a feed,is that attended?Don't know if I would like to argue that point with a police officer hellbent on taking my firearms.

Victorias rules got changed after Hoddle St, if I remember correctly that is when the lockable storage requirement was brought in.
