No I don’t actually. I’d like to know.

Unless I am right out to lunch, a trigger lock is sufficient for NR. I chose to also secure them in a safe,

In a safe there is no requirement for a trigger lock. If you take a closet and modify it for firearm storage and strengthen it, then that can count for safe storage as well. There was some case law on that point quite sometime ago.

Keep in mind that if a gun is in "use" ie you are cleaning or admiring it, then neither Transport or storage regs apply at that moment.

You know, when it comes to safes, they can be "key-lock" safes, and the regulations don't actually state anywhere as to where the key must be located once the safe is locked. It just says the container must be one that is difficult to "break into". So, conceivably, you could lock it and then just leave the key in the lock. That would make it easy to "open" but wouldn't make it any less easy to "break" into.

"Your honour, I didn't break into the container, I unlocked it!"
