Proper storage is ineffective if you are walking down the street confronted by a criminal unless you are also carting a firearm not stored, or in a public meeting place, theatre or school. To attempt to open a secured storage in these places would immediately attract the attention of the armed criminal. In the case of a house invasion the response would be likewise. Criminals do not wait until you also are armed from your storage cabinet. I incidentally made several triple locked gun cabinets with separate ammunition storage for clients out of 2mm hardened steel.

Josephus,

What you say is very true, fortunately, I neither need nor want to carry a firearm, I have my trusty walking stick.

In NSW 6mm steel is the minimum size for a pistol safe, but Category 'A' and 'B' long arms can be stored in appropriate locked and secured hardwood cupboards/chests/lockers.

Issy, that is not quite correct, when I raised similar gun deaths with you on previous occasions, you found them so confronting, they simply overwhelmed you. Rather than debate the issue further, or offer counter argument, you would simply close the argument down. The alternative is for you to go onto some nitpicking exercise, and like 'Polly the Parrot', continue to ask the same inane question, over and over! "Polly want a cracker", does that sound familiar to anyone?

The other Issy ploy is to act like the domineering school master, should you make a spelling mistake, or use the wrong word in a post (as Issy often does himself), offering fruitloop advice of; get a spellchecker etc.
An example of Issem would be something like, should I post; "Issy your are a goat!" Issy would be quick to correct me with "I am not a goat Paul, I am a DOPE, get it right Paul "I am a DOPE!" Dope Dope Dope.

Paul,

Do get a spellchecker or try Grammarly, there's a good chap.

Issy, Issy, Issy, with you being one of the phytoplankton of intelligence on the evolutionary ladder, I think I will leave it for a few billion more years before I start taking your advice.

Your choice, Paul, be mediocre.
