gameshooter09 Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 (edited) Hello, just wondering how the law states for carrying shotguns in a insecure landrover soft top (no door locks). As people tell me that I cannot transport them if they are not secure and hidden? Thanks Edited December 9, 2009 by gameshooter09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humperdingle Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 insecure landrover soft top (no door locks). I think you've just answered your own question! I'd say unless you securely attach a lockable cabinet of some kind to the vehicle, it's gonna be tricky to get out of any hassle if any guns were to be stolen from the vehicle.

Paddy Galore! Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 what about a trigger wire in the cab? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stokie Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 They should be transported out of sight . If that means throw a rug or blanket on them then do it. But as for leaving them unattended you may be in for a whole load of trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 I would fit a small cabinet or one of the old style gun clamps you used to be able get if you only had 1 gun and went over action trigger etc in a cupboard. Don't know if they still make themmay be 1 on evilbay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flytie Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Hello,just wondering how the law states for carrying shotguns in a insecure landrover soft top (no door locks). As people tell me that I cannot transport them if they are not secure and hidden? Thanks Use a Firearm Security Cable attatched, with a padlock, to a secure point in your Landy. All the police ask of you is that you make the best possible attempt to secure your gun while it is left in your vehicle. Obviously this will not meet all requirements and you would be unwise to leave your firearm unattended overnight etc. But securely fastened to the chassis is better than nothing. http://firearmsecuritycable.com/page8.html These are what I use for guns left in my Jimny during lunch etc. ft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FinFerNan Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 (edited) My FAO said that they take a VERY dim view of guns taken from cars. His advice was i) Don't ever leave your gun unattended and/or; ii) take a small sports holdall, pop the stock/fore end into that and carry it with you if you need to leave the car for any reason. He reckons just taking the fore-end is not enough as the gun can still be cocked without it. Onviously the barrels are not much use on their own. A little extreme in my view but you can see his point. The law is very clear on this point, it is YOU who are responsible to prevent unauthorised access to the gun. So all the advice in the world will not protect you if your gun is taken. Edited December 10, 2009 by FinFerNan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
