Unboxing SIG P226 All Stainless in Nitron
- Thread starter bacardi

If the firearm is in a safe (did you check the legalese forum yet?), no additional security is required, thus a locked case is above and beyond and is fine. HOWEVER, if locked in a container, receptacle or secured room (includes cabinets) then it needs TO BE RENDERED INOPERABLE, aka trigger lock.
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
etc.
Incidently, those "crappy CTC cabinets" are, according to a court in Ontario, a safe - provided the door latches in more than one location. So are the type of lockers used in change rooms, provided they have a secure type of lock (padlock) on them - but of course that case was about the safe storage of fully automatic firearms. OP, try this - take your beautiful Sig out of the box, put it on the shelf in your safe, then take a magazine and load it full of the nastiest hollowpoint ammo you can find (I personally like Hydra Shocks or Gold Dots) and place the magazine right beside the Sig - check to make sure there's no trigger lock on the Sig, and close your safe. Breathe deep. Look around to confirm that the world is not, in fact, ending. Enjoy the fact that you are NOT breaking any LAW. This is of course regardless of any of the bullsh*t people might want to tell you on here, because they haven't bothered to actually read the law.

You might get him into trouble like that. I have a CT cabinet and I'm sure it can "readily be broken into". A 200 lb safe, it is not, it's a 30 lb cabinet.

Irrelevant in the light of case law, if it's steel, if it has throw bolts that enter the frame, and if it locks, it's a safe. What you're saying is exactly what the crown counsel in Ontario tried to argue in the Johnny Sombrero case - so let's be straight THERE IS NO LEGAL DEFINITION OF WHAT IS OR IS NOT A SAFE , there is only case law which found; that a simple locker room locker with a pad lock IS a safe and that it's adequate under the law for the storage of fully automatic weapons. The intent of the law when it was written was NOT to prevent theft, it was to prevent unsupervised access. Get the feeling I've been following this for the last 20 years???

I err on the side of caution. You can do whatever the minimum is and let us know how it turns out for you.
That's exactly what the antis want you to do. I will continue to follow the law as it is written and practised.
