Which provision addresses safe handling and secure storage of firearms?

• A. Criminal Offences and Penalties
• B. Storage and Security
• C. Age Restrictions
• D. Prohibited Weapons

Answer: (B)

Safe handling and secure storage of firearms are addressed by the Storage and Security provision. This part of the law sets the duties on firearm holders to keep guns secure when not in use and to handle them safely in everyday use. It covers practical requirements like keeping firearms unloaded, stored in a locked cabinet or safe, protecting keys, storing ammunition separately, and using secure transport when moving firearms. These rules exist specifically to prevent accidents, theft, and unauthorized access. The other options relate to different topics—offences and penalties, age restrictions, or which weapons are prohibited—so they don’t directly govern how firearms must be handled or stored.
