Transportation of firearms

[Trigger82]

Good evening all.

Just a general question as I have as i cant find anything on the net.
This may be a bit more QLD specific, Im wondering how people go transporting firearms in these sort of vehicles?

Locked plastic trimcast-type box chained to the load tie down points on the rear floor? Bolts & ammo in separate secured container. Probably wise not to have branded stickers all over. The RFSVs have lockable steel box options but they're only 1m long (OK for takedowns).

Have a look at this

https://www.police.qld.gov.au/programs/weaponsLicensing/licenceApplication/storage/invehicles.htm

It does seem a bit weird

A trip to your local police station or an email to the weapons branch may be the go to clarify.

As for 1(a),i have always wondered what a securely closed container is,a soft case OK ?

I presume 1 is for vehicles that can be locked.

Looking at 3,if your vehicle cannot be locked,i don't know what you do.:confused:

I always went to Belmont with rifles in soft carry case and bolts and ammo locked in a box which is all that is required in Qld

Thanks all,
kinda sums up what i was thinking.

87Country, ill probably end up with a FFR so if anything it would have to be the ROPS bars

and thanks for the weblink Scarry, i was trying to find info on their site last night but failed miserably. But that section 1b does line up with what squizzyhunter is saying.
Ie having the rifle in a secure container left in the back with the canvas down would cover the been left out of sight part (altough one wouldnt wander from the vehicle too far) . and the ammo and bolts i spose can be stored in the lockable side storage.

But I dare say I will check with the local police when time comes just to keep certain people happy

FFR, Cargo, and RFSV variants all have 250SWL tie down rings inletted in the rear floor

[Trigger82]

All the FFR's in all the pics ive seen so far dont have them including the current listing on grays??????

[Carzee]

Correct. No rings in FFR, and since the RFSV is a FFR with a ton of money thrown at it, no rings either.

BTW, FFRs rule! :p
