Police in NSW are urging firearm holders to ensure guns are stored correctly in gun safes that are bolted or fixed to the property, comply with legislation and keep your gun safe key on your person and not hidden at your property.
They have provided some tips to help with safe storage:
Ensure the premises where you store your firearms are solid with sturdy lockable doors and windows
Ensure your gun safe key is kept on your person, lock ammunition in a container kept separate to the firearms
Check your firearms regularly, and
Do not advertise you have firearms on social media, open discussions in public places or showing your firearms to others.
