the club is just a group it's not an actual building, it is legal to transport your weapons as long as they are unloaded and in a case and you have a FAC (firearms cert.) all the guys too and from from the range with their guns, many stop in cafes and stuff on the way home. The laws are more about responsibility than prohibition. There are several weapons I have used at the club that could quite easily be concealed, the 357 magnum for exampls, althught it is a handgun they are legal as long as you attach a lengthener to it, which in this case was just a thin steel rod with a counter balance on the back.

Black powder pistols on the other hand need no such lengtheners, are perfectly adequate to kill someone with and are totally legal to own. (and bloody good fun to use)

The laws about owning a gun and keeping it in your house are that you have to have a secure locker to store them in, it must be bolted to the wall too to stop someone just wandering off with your firearm collection and if you want to own any guns you must list them on youyr FAC before you purchase any.

All these rules and regs tend to serve as a way to ensure that only people who follow them and are meticulous about safety keep guns legally...honestly it is too much of a pain in the arse for anyne who isn't serious to get involved with and if they cannot stick to the rules they soon get dismissed from gun clubs and will not be sponsored for their FAC.

The ones you want to look out for are the people who keep guns illegally and have no clue about safety and their soul purpose for weapon ownership is as KS said, pretty damn likely just to be to kill or hurt someone. The laws only apply to the law abiding.
