I need a little clarification on the rules of storing NR Firearms. The law reads; "Lock the firearms in a cabinet, container or room that is difficult to break into."

My question is, what is defined as a room that is difficult to break into? If, say my bedroom had a lock, would that suffice? I don't expect the government to make sense at this point but my instructor said if there is a lock on the front door we could store it anywhere in the house. Can I trust this?

It’s vague for a reason, any information here will be anecdotal. Having said that, yes windows are considered easy to break into.
