Safe, restricted and trigger lock

[shawnie_boy]

Hi All,

Just wondering on opinions as to whether people put a trigger lock on their restricted handguns if it is put into a safe (smaller sentry electronic safe attached to wall and studs) with ammunition also in safe. I know there is no legal requirement but was wondering what the consensus was.

I don't put the trigger lock on, when in the safe. I store my ammo separate, mainly 'cause of the space issue.

There is no consensus

Know what the law is, as long as you stay within do what ever makes you comfortable

^^^^^^^^^ This.

But personally, I do. Mostly because I like to have it ready to grab and go to the range.

By law a restricted weapon does not have to be trigger/action locked when in a safe, some people do to be 100% in the green. Ammunition in that locked safe whether loose or in charged magazines is 100% OK.

This is why mine has a trigger lock on it, just for convenience of heading to the range at a moments notice.

No trigger locks in safe , however I have 2 safes, ammo in one, mags in another...... gun not much good without a mag and a mag not much good without a gun.
