When I worked as a prison officer I had a chat to a fella who specialised in stealing firearms to sell to other criminals. He said he would usually park across the road from a gun store and follow cars home and come back to break into the house and safe when no one was home. Same same with gun clubs he would just follow cars that leave the range and break into the house at a later stage 😣
You don’t speak for all of us Australians bloke,when it comes to firearms what do you expect us to do huh ? We have to abide by the rules set out otherwise firearms will get confiscated,the government is using all the tricks in the book to take our firearms from us-even traffic infringements or drunk and disorderly behaviour can get your firearm license revoked. Under the “ fit and proper person act “ they can take our gun licences from us for the most bs things you wouldn’t believe. One guy I know lost his gun license because he had a street fight with another guy in self defence,when it went to court the judge took his firearm license from him because he was ruled unfit to carry a gun licence ! So give us a break ok,we’re dealing with the most ridiculous gun laws ever. Must be on your best behaviour at all times or risk losing your licenses.
I might just add to your video mate.. If you own a single cab ute you can store the firearms behind the seat but they must be covered and out of sight of the public an ammunition must be also covered.. when I first got my license I couldn't find anything on the law about transporting in a ute without a lock box on the tray, I had to call weapons licensing several times to find someone who knew what the law was .
If going on a overnight road trip and live in a motel, should I bring the firearm with me to the motel room for the night ? or leave the firearm locked inside the car in the motel car park ?
So regarding cat H firearms pistols/ revolvers it’s legal to store them in the same metal safe if it’s bolted to the ground along with cat A and B firearms? I was under the impression that cat H had to be stored separately from cat A and B ??
As long as the safe meets the requirements for Cat H you could put ABC in there BUT everyone who has access must hold Cat H. This is generally why AB firearms are kept seperate.
@@Spacegoat92 If it is in a locked container, that container must be secured to the vehicle. By secure I mean, bolted or chain/cable and lock. The spare wheel well, it is out of sight, but is NOT secure. The unauthorized person would still have access to it.
There was a time I wanted to visit Australia but since Covid and how the government handled it I’ve reconsidered. Life is good in the free state of South Carolina.
Do you realise this is in Australia dude ? We have bs firearm laws here and this guy is telling people in Australia what to do because if you get caught not following the laws the cops will take your firearms off you in a snap.
Uhhhhh.... Check out your gun violence/death rates in the US ....thoughts and prayers dude. Don't worry though, we here in Australia are able to own guns, but to do so, we must be responsible with them. Any eligible license holder (not a crook), who can show a lawful cause for ownership and promise to store the guns/ammo safely, can have access to most types, except semi/full auto. Although, some states in Australia do vary, so long as you're a member of the right clubs, you can own a wide variety of guns here. I much prefer to know that most violent crooks and suburban psychopaths will find it much more difficult to possess guns here, especially semi and full auto rifles, than they do in the 'land of the free', where it's pretty much open season on humans all year round.
Am i wrong, or isn't the bolt suppose to be stored "not just separately to the firearm" AND locked in separate compartment? Yes the ammo is locked away, but I've always been instructed the "bolt ALSO locked separately"??? A pouch BESIDE the gun case seems bit weird.... just saying (& asking)
Had a few friends over the years who kept their bolts seperate from the rifle they were usually the ones who travelled for a day or so to go hunting or target shooting only to discover that their bolt was back at home or they had the wrong bolt
You're wrong on both counts. The bolt just needs to be removed to make the firearm temp inop. Plenty of people hang them on the trigger guard in the safe. When transporting, it just needs to be not in the gun. In fact it can be, but you'd need to make the firearm inoperable some other way (trigger lock,) Ammo just needs to be STORED securly and seperatly to fireams. It doesn't have to be locked up for transportation. Not in QLD anyway.

No need to remove the bolt here in SA. its important to note to follow your states regulations.
Love you work, very informative.
Just wondering why you say ammo in a locked box for transport. For storage, spot on. For transport????

Another excellent video that gives the facts without hype and drama. I have subscribed to your channel.

This must only apply to Australia 🇦🇺 when I got pulled over the cop just asked you going to the shooting range?
Thanks for the video mate, what state or states is this relevant?
This one is relevant to Queensland every state has different rules I use this video for training students when they do safety courses
Queensland

@@timg6252 Thank you for your information!
So regarding the fuel station scenario. What about if the guns are locked away in the boot? Can the person stay in the car then?
Only if they have NO access to the boot. Remember modern car boots can be accessed by folding the rear seat down.
@@wayne2584 How about if the container it's in is locked, or if say in a station wagon it's kept in the spare wheel well?
@@Spacegoat92 If it is in a locked container, that container must be secured to the vehicle. By secure I mean, bolted or chain/cable and lock.
The spare wheel well, it is out of sight, but is NOT secure. The unauthorized person would still have access to it.
When is your next video
that gun fire is trashed now do not allow
If you’re on a long drive and have to stay in a hotel over night can you leave them locked in the car over night ?
That’s a good question ? I’d say yes unless you can lock them up in the motel room with a padlock and inside a cupboard.
There was a time I wanted to visit Australia but since Covid and how the government handled it I’ve reconsidered. Life is good in the free state of South Carolina.
Is that a dictatorship or democracy there ? What a f*#*ing Joke !
It’s a democracy Cobber, firearm ownership isn’t a right here, it’s a privilege! There is no Second Amendment.
@@diggerrob6356 no rights either which would make it a dictatorship 🤷♂️
@@Sinister12C rubbish!
@@diggerrob6356 delusional
I thought the Assies turned in all their weapons.
All the good ones
Nope, and we don't cook shrimp on bbq either
it was an amnesty where you could turn in illegal firearms IIRC. Anyone with the desire and cash can get a license and a firearm still.

No, it just needs to be temporarily inoperable
