Not much you cant tackle either a 12g or 223.
Is it a shooting, fishing or family trip.?

WTF ????????
I know that things are sliding down the gurgler,,,,,,,,,, but it has not yet degenerated to a point where LAFO's are prevented from having their legally owned
firearms with them in a vehicle.
There are a myriad of reasons why this is possible.
The simplest of all is,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I'm going on a hunting trip.

Die Judicii .. +1 mate...
but... as a point of order . if you are stopped by police in your car are you legally obliged to disclose if you have firearms on board.? I havent come across this before, but it seems the simplest course of action would be 'dont fkn say anything'

Actually I think all states require you to have legitimate reason to have a firearm in your vehicle, you can't take a rifle because you might get some hunting in by chance, or you might drop into a club for shoot. When I asked the Registry about visiting my brother in Canberra they wanted evidence of permission to hunt on a property or an entry for a specific competition, going up to do some informal shooting at Majura was not an acceptable reason to bring firearms into ACT.
