Firearm and shotgun security

As the holder of a firearm or shotgun certificate, you are required to comply with certain conditions on your certificate relating to security.

Lachlan Nisbet, partner at Brabners lawyers, advises you to be aware of accepting a caution for a minor offence, as these can give licensing officers a reason to revoke your certificates.
