First handgun is in the mail - does the CZ-P10F come with a lockable case and is it suitable for storage?

Bought in September 22' and transfer just went though (end of January 23'). It's funny, I read somewhere on here to call the provincial CFO office (BC) by entering their extension at the federal 800 line. They picked up right away and said "yea, we can transfer that for you right now". Just like that.

I read it comes with a case, but not sure if it qualifies as a 'container' in the following line from an RCMP page on firearm storage:

Attach a secure locking device so the firearms cannot be fired and lock them in a cabinet, container or room that is difficult to break into.

It will ultimately be stored in a 9th floor one bedroom condominium with only a lock on the front door (there is no lockable room).

Yes and yes. It comes with a case that can be locked, and as long as you use a trigger lock as well, yes it is suitable for storage (it definitely meets the criteria as a container or receptical, but definitely not a safe). Most trigger locks are too bulky to fit in those factory cases, so you will need a low profile lock. I choose to use those red plastic screw-on "locks" because they fit nicely in the case. Kind of annoying to use though.

Ps, don't rely on RCMP web page for law information. That is just their opinion. It won't save you if you ever end up in court. It may affect sentencing, but not a conviction/acquittal. Go to the original text of the law.

"rendered inoperable by means of a secure locking device and stored in a container, receptacle or room that is kept securely locked and that is constructed so that it cannot be readily broken open or into, or...."

Case law shows container and receptical have a very low bar.
