Previous responses are correct. I just want to add that the government has been saying that they will soon be announcing further regulatory changes to “strengthen” the current storage laws. I recently bought my first restricted guns and I’m planning to buy a safe, but since we don’t know what the new regs will be (possibly setting standards for what constitutes a safe—metal thickness, etc), I’ve been holding off for now and just using a regular locking case.

Presumably not, but we don’t know what specific changes they will be making to the storage rules. It might not have anything to do with safes.
