Legal Display of Firearms

Unload and lock your firearms!

Here are the rules for displaying a firearm in your home.
Ammunition cannot be displayed with, or accessible to, the firearms.

Non-restricted firearms

• Attach a secure locking device to the firearms; or
• Lock the firearms in a container or room that is hard to break into.

Restricted and prohibited firearms

• Attach a secure locking device to the firearms; and
• Securely attach them to something that cannot be moved.
• For an automatic firearm, also remove the bolt or bolt carrier (if removable) and lock it in a separate room that is hard to break into.
Some rules may be different for firearms displayed away from home– for example, at a gun show. Refer to the Gun Shows Regulations for details.
