Apparently on gun ownership in the UK.

"They can transport them from locked storage, which is checked annually by the police as per their licence to wherever they shoot, (Bisley etc) and they must be cocked, preferably in their case."

Where on earth did you dig that up from? Bit difficult as in transport the rifle, the bolt and the ammunition must not be stored together so how the f**k can it be stored cocked in their case? Shotguns are normally transported broken down in their case so again cannot be cocked. - Any gun that is cocked or has the bolt closed should be viewed as loaded and dangerous and treated accordingly.

"Guns for hunting must be clearly on display at all times and cocked when not being prepared for immediate use.

If the gun when hunting is not in use then the bolt should be open, chamber empty and the magazine removed then anyone even with a casual glance can determine that the gun can be of no threat as a firearm (Could still be used as a club Musket) - A shotgun if not about to be used, i.e. walking to post, or back to the meeting point, should be broken and preferably unloaded.
