Question about restricted firearm storage

OverLord2006 said:
Most trigger locks can be picked in under 30 seconds just FYI. Picked my own locks in 10 seconds for one, 26 seconds on the other first time around. Paperclips and a tension wrench i.e. even a popcan lid folded correctly work miracles.:jerkit:

Buy a HIGHLY SECURE safe instead of some cheap Wallmart one. That's all you need.

Thats why he has hidden the loaded mag in his panty drawer, no one would think to look or rather risk touching those.... :)

STORAGE OF RESTRICTED FIREARMS


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.

I'd say YES, if the safe has NOT been specifically constructed or modified for the secure storage of restricted firearms. Be careful how you interpret the law.

promac,
Your interpretation is one of those ones to be careful about.

(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.

The "specially modified or constructed" refers to a room, not the previous vault or safe.

That's how i read it as well.
 
The two quotes are different by a comma after "safe". The comma after safe means that the "specially constructed" only applies to the "room" scenario. I believe the FA has the comma but too busy at the moment to check.
 
not a 'safe' but a firearm storage cabinet?

Now what about those inexpensive ($200-$400) Homak style cabinets available at CanTire or WalMart?

I don't think these would be considered 'safes' and therefore would require triggerlocks on restricteds inside. Right?
 
I have the new Costco gun safe, but its not yet bolted to the floor. Are trigger locks still needed? I thought I heard somewhere that you did if your safe wasnt fastened to the floor or wall.
 
Instead of spending a fortune on a gun safe, I just picked up one of those "old school", high school lockers for $15. Thing is built solid and I have bolted it to the wall in my bedroom closet and locked with a solid padlock. That sucker isn't going anywhere. Therefore, it is a storage device MODIFIED for the storage of restricted firearms, and of course, my long guns too. The ammo is in a old WW2 machine gun box, locked, under my bed.
Nothing is handy for Personal Defense, other than two, 15 lbs. dumbbells. I'd just throw one high, the other low. The unlucky trespasser legs and chest would simply cave in....
