Restricted and prohibited firearms
•Attach a secure locking device so the firearms cannot be fired and lock them in a cabinet, container or room that is difficult to break into; or ... what do they mean by a container?
 
My buddy says a large wooden trunk,locked, is not enough, I told him the pistol is in a locked plastic gun case, no trigger lock, but the trunk is locked.....and no ammo with it. opinions
 
You need a trigger lock or some other lock "Attach a secure locking device so the firearms cannot be fired and" Just in a locked container / case / cabinet is not good enough. God knows they know how to pick locks, so if there's no locking device there'd be blood in the streets ;)
 
a locked wooden trunk is not a safe (or i would bet that would be the court's interpretation if this was put to a legal challenge). as above, you need a trigger lock.
 
ok trigger locked, pistol case locked, inside a filing cabinet locked?? Is this good?? I could even screw the cabinet to the floor, but they? could still take it, if they really wanted to......
 
when I get down to one pistol, my goal is just 1 rest.. I think I will trigger lock and lock plastic case, than hide the case, but cable lock it to something solid....

No need for the last one. Trigger locked and locked in the box will suffice.
 
Just the 1 lock is needed after the trigger lock/cable lock. It would be fine to have the trigger lock and in a locked pistol case. But that's just a minimum. I feel safer having it locked in something that someone can't walk away with.
 
I keep my ammo locked in a separate cabinet. Another locked cabinet for my restricted firearms which also have trigger locks or locked in its case. All in a walk-in locked and alarmed walk in safe room (concrete walls, steel door, no windows). The regs are open for interpretation so as long as you can convince a judge your storage meets or exceeds the requirements, you're good.
