Firearm - Storage and Transportation

   It's not enough to just comply with the Regulations set out for the safe storage and transportation of firearms. There is now, more than ever, the need to exercise an extreme and diligent approach as to how we store and transport.

   What we need to do:

bullet Ensure your storage safe is appropriate for the task and well secured to a wall or floor
bullet Every firearm must be trigger locked and unloaded
bullet Keep all ammunition in a separate and secure, lockable, vented and clearly marked "Explosives" (Fire Department Regulation).
bullet If possible upgrade to a heavy duty safe
bullet Locate the safe so as to avoid it being easily seen
bullet A room with a proper lock or locking mechanism where the safe can be stored will give additional protection
bullet An alarm system in the house or apartment
bullet A separate alarm in this room would be ideal (make sure the alarm company is aware of what is being stored and instructions for immediate police dispatch if the alarm is triggered)
bullet Use discretion when leaving and entering your residence so anyone passing by will not be alerted that firearms are being stored on the premises

   By following these simple rules we can minimize the risk of a break in or a personal assault.
