Yeah see this pisses me off. On the one hand the allowance for cat A and B to be securely locked and attached to the building "could" be removed, keeping the higher end of the existing security options. However the proposed changes on this part of the legislation are too many steps too far, and will achieve nothing that the existing higher options won't do. How about some negotiation, you know, we'll give a little on this if you give a little there. Tighter storage for no wait time on second or subsequent firearms in any given category comes to mind as a viable option.
Reg 38. ( I ) A person (not being a dealer) who has possession of a class A or B firearm, must keep the firearm or receiver secured by-
(a) Securely attaching and locking it to part of the building in which it is kept; or
(b) Keeping it in a locked cabinet made of hardwood or steel that is securely attached to the building in which it is kept, or
(c) Keeping it in a locked safe made of steel that is securely attached to the building in which it is kept; or
(d) Keeping it in a locked steel and concrete strongroom; or
(e) Such other method as is approved by the Registrar.
