“It is the shooter responsibility to look after his firearm/s and keep them safe from possible theft at all times”, NQRA Chairman reminds all members and shooters.
From the QPS weapons licencing website – Storage of fi****ms in or on vehicles
As a general rule, you should not store any weapons in a vehicle. Loose fi****ms in a vehicle are a prime target for thieves.
In some situations, you may need to store a weapon in a vehicle, in these circumstances ensure that:
1. If the vehicle has a lockable boot, the weapon is locked in the boot; otherwise:
(a) the weapon is locked in a metal container fixed to the vehicle; or
(b) the weapon is in a securely closed container that is out of sight in the vehicle.
2. The metal container and anything on or attached to it, must not suggest that a weapon is inside.
3. A person in control of a weapon (whether or not the person has custody of it) must ensure the weapon is not left in an unlocked vehicle if the vehicle is not being attended by someone licensed to possess the weapon.
