Yes you can store restricted firearms in your home.

(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

Perhaps he hasn't taken the course yet?

This is definitely a piece of information I sought out prior to shelling out $150 for my R/PAL.

Thanks for not grinding on someone who asked a simple question in the appropriate Newbie forum, Rojam.
