Gun Safe Query

[RobertMcC]

I thank you all for your responses.

Are people using cabinets to store restricted and non restricted firearms?
If yes, how legal is it?

Ive been using cabinets since I got my license, almost 20 years ago. Restricted just got trigger locks on them, NR are just in socks. Both are bolted to a wall stud.

As it is written in the RPAL instructors book "A restricted firearm may be stored, only if it meets the following conditions:
It is unloaded and
1 Rendered inoperable by using a secure locking device and stored in a securely locked container, receptacle or room that cannot be easily broken open.
2 Stored in a securely locked vault, safe or room specifically built for secure storage of restricted firearms

then it goes on about the storage of ammo for the restricted firearm.
