I know for a fact the stringent gun restrictions in Australia from my experience on the NSCA USA Shooting Team. Guns had to be locked up at the club during events and out of competitor’s control (even the Australian Team)
So here is a question for you...do you think those at an international shoot should wander about with a pistol in their pocket?
.
Yes. What’s your problem with that? Competitors always handle their own firearms at a competition and many at rifle matches routinely have a holstered pistol, even though pistol stages may not be part of the match.
What’s different is not being able to leave the event with your Shotgun and take it back to wherever you’re staying. In your country, it stays at the club locked up.
By the way, everyone knows that a shooting club where EVERYONE is armed is about the safest place on earth to be.
