Guns may only be carried by those over 18 years or under the supervision of a person over 21 years. When not in use, guns must be stored in a secure place (i.e., in a vehicle, out of sight). Any breach of safety rules may result in disqualification. Safety flags must be inserted in all pistols at all times except when removal is authorised by the Firing Point Steward.
