About time!

[kdogg]

Um, I thought you could already do this? I thought they decided years ago transporting a pistol was OK as long as it wasn't readily accessible.

[Divegeek]

It used to say you could only transport for going to the range or to a place or purchase or repair or certain things like that. Now it says you can transport for all "lawful purposes"

[Legislave]

You still need a CPL

[MrMark]

Soooo.... If I DO NOT have a CPL, I can do the following(?):

1. Buy a pistol in the morning
2. Carry it around with me buy leave it in the trunk, unloaded (mags/ammo separate, etc.) running various errands all day until...
3. Arrive at home and store the weapon.

????

Does not compute.

I'm a noob at this, so help me out please.

This bill is on a fast track. It's already in Third reading, if I read my Gongwer update correctly this afternoon (Maybe I didn't?)
