No trigger lock needed. Nay Sayers it's getting old.
Practice makes you perfect, it also makes you broke!
Where in the firearms act or criminal code definitions, etc does it say this? I don't think there is actually a Canadian requirement that a secure locking receptacle or safe has to be immobile. What about those handy products from Barska or Gunvault. I think it's just a widely believed "best practice" that a safe needs to be bolted down. I know it's all open to interpretation but in reality if a law enforcement agency feels they want to charge you then they will. Just ask Mr. Ian Thompson Mr. Mike Hargreaves... Sometimes even when you follow every rule you're open to being prosecuted.

6. An individual may store a restricted firearm only if
(a) it is unloaded;
(b) it is
(i) rendered inoperable by means of a secure locking device and stored in a container, receptacle or room that is kept securely locked and that is constructed so that it cannot readily be broken open or into, or
(ii) stored in a vault, safe or room that has been specifically constructed or modified for the secure storage of restricted firearms and that is kept securely locked; and
(c) it is not readily accessible to ammunition, unless the ammunition is stored, together with or separately from the firearm, in
(i) a container or receptacle that is kept securely locked and that is constructed so that it cannot readily be broken open or into, or
(ii) a vault, safe or room that has been specifically constructed or modified for the secure storage of restricted firearms and that is kept securely locked.
As far as most things are concerned if it's advertised as being a gun safe and has a secure lock there should not be a problem. Aside from an over zealous charge of ammunition being readily accessible this should be perfectly legal for a restricted handgun.
What's the cost of shipping to Ontario for the booksafe?
ok, very cool. It is advertised as a firearms safe, and it is secure, opaque and locks well.
