LOCAL firearm owners will have to update their storage facilities by the end of August, following the implementation of new legislation.
New regulations indicate license holders must store firearms in commercial made steel storage receptables, which meet Australian standards; prohibiting the use of hard-wood storage units.
The steel used must be at least 1.6 millimetres thick and weigh more than 150 kilograms when empty, to avoid having it bolted to the structure of the premise.
