Police are reminding the public to ensure that firearms in vehicles be stored in a locked container when not in use. One example provided was a gun safe bolted to the vehicle floor or in the trunk. As well, it must be concealed from plain sight so it isn’t easily identifiable as a gun safe.
At home, police recommend keeping firearms in a locked cabinet or safe where easy access isn’t available. The released stated that storing firearms unloaded with trigger locks or cable locks to prevent accidental discharges are extra ways to ensure safety. The safe or cabinet should be bolted securely to prevent theft or tampering.

There you go again guessing when the law says differently More rolling of the dice hoping vs following it as written
Bow locks
Not my laws dude it is how the act is written and all it takes is one that follows it which they all should be and your run of luck is over and like I said it is clear what is legal when sitting in the vehicle and when not and what locking is required for certain types of transportation I always trigger locked when going to the club but never hunting
My legalities priceless but real clear what the options are as written today and they clarify what properly fastened is as I shared but will share again
(a)in a case which is properly fastened;
(b)completely wrapped in material which is securely tied around the firearm or bow; or
(c)in the locked luggage compartment of a vehicle and the contents of the compartment are not accessible to the occupants of the vehicle from inside the vehicle. R.S., c.504, s.80; 1990, c.50, s.7.
For purposes of clause 80(4)(a) of the Act, the expression “in a case which is properly fastened” includes a trigger lock which, when attached to a firearm or bow, renders the firearm or bow inoperable.
The law states you can only drive 100 KMH on a 100 series highway. THAT IS THE WRITTEN LAW. Does the RCMP care if you‘re driving at 105 ??? 110 ????Not my laws dude it is how the act is written and all it takes is one that follows it which they all should be and your run of luck is over and like I said it is clear what is legal when sitting in the vehicle and when not and what locking is required for certain types of transportation I always trigger locked when going to the club but never hunting

I have yet to use a trigger lock on any firearm (long gun), whether going hunting or to the range. What is the difference in having a firearm locked in your vehicle or in your basement behind a locked door ????
