Storage is a touchy subject. Storing it safe away from unauthorized hands is very important. However, your home defense tools need to be readily available. Finding the balance of secure yet available is as important as having a home defense plan.

Firearms reform was key topic from Hon Nicole McKee fair, simple practical firearm laws that keep our communities safe. She launched her comprehensive firearms reform, of the 40yr old laws that are difficult to understand and even harder to comply with. Growing gun crime, just isn’t right. We need to keep firearms out of the hands of criminals, and support our farmers and hunters and gun clubs who play key roles in our rural communities. Review of data collection. Privacy concerns are acknowledged, and the current ‘clunky’ data collection system. Rewriting the Arms Act. Work has started now. Efficiency & effectiveness is key to rebuild trust in the system. Farmers. Hunters. Gun Clubs. Shooting Ranges. All voices need to be heard, please speak up. “You will be heard. Every sector will be accommodated in the new laws, we need to hear from you directly” Fieldays®
