From my understanding just cart it as you usually would in a bag/case, trigger lock, throw a rug over top of it to disguise it etc.
Try not to leave it unattended anymore then is absolutely necessary and always lock the car even if paying for fuel etc.
That would be my take on it.
All licence holders in NSW are subject to the general requirement for safe storage of firearms - section 39 of the
Firearms Act 1996 (Act). Any person in possession of a firearm must take all reasonable precautions to ensure the
firearm is kept safely, is not lost or stolen and does not come into the possession of an unauthorised person.
Travelling through NSW (Category A, B or H)
An interstate resident who holds the equivalent of a category A, B, or H firearms licence issued in their State or
Territory of residence, may lawfully possess a firearm (possess only, not use) of a kind to which a corresponding
category A, B or H licence issued in this State applies, but only while:
• Travelling through NSW, or
• After acquiring the firearm from a licensed NSW firearms dealer, or
• Taking it to a licensed NSW firearms dealer for the purposes of sale, repair, servicing or modification.
Note: Possession only, not use.
So as long as you make an effort to do just that, I don't see you having an issue.
