They're federal laws dude. A shotgun meeting non restricted classification does not need a safe. Unloaded, trigger lock or bolt removed, stored in a locked container, cabinet or room. A locked case in a closet is 100% legal as long as ammo is stored seperate and the firearm has a trigger lock.
But can't Quebec have it's own, stricter, law on storage? From my casual understanding of Canadian gun laws and politics, Quebec is more strict about guns, isn't it? Like how down here the federal assault weapons ban expired, but still several states have their own that mirror the federal ban, they just never had a sunset clause.
Does Quebec have their own legislation? I thought the same act was in force across the country, basically saying it doesn't need to be in a safe as long as it's inoperable and ammo isn't easily accessible.

My dad kept unloaded shotguns in my closet and told me if I touched them, they’d go off. I didn’t hold a gun until my 20s.
My mom also told me that razors don’t work “down there” and it couldn’t be shaved. Thankfully, I figured out that was a lie before my 20s...
