Don't they also have a mandatory law requiring safes including random inspections?

No, there are no random inspections. However, for 'restricted' firearms (handguns, ar-15) they must be stored in a safe, or with trigger locks, or a combination. That said, if the cops are at your place for some other reason -- say you called them because of a break-in -- and they see that your firearms are not stored properly then you can be cited for that.
 
There is also a lot of drama going on about a recent reclassification of the Swiss Arms and CZ858 reclassification..

Swiss Arms and CZ 858 Relassification: A brief explanation of the gun ban by the RCMP


I hope this brief can serve as a primer for those who try to understand and begin to follow the reclassification and prohibition issue of Swiss Arms and CZ858 rifles. This is not a complete article. It is more of the bare basics on the subject to help people to dive deeper into the different aspects of the issue.

Q: What firearms are affected?
A: Swiss Arms Rifles ( classic green rifle and carbines, and versions of different colours)
CZ 858 tactical 2P, 2V and 4P proofed after 2007 ( similar rifles made by CSA, CZ2003, VZ58 and FSN models are not prohibited as of now)


Q: How many of these firearms are in the hands of Canadians, and for how long?
A: There are approximately 12,000 of these firearms legally obtained by Canadians in the last 12 years.


Q: How are these firearms become "banned" or "prohibited"
A: The RCMP has access to something called "FRT": firearms reference table. It is a database of all firearm models in Canada. The table includes the classification of each firearm model, whether it is "non-restricted", "restricted" or outright illegal as "prohibited. The RCMP effectively banned the said firearms by changing the status of these firearms from either "non-restricted" or "restricted" to "prohibited. This is what we mean by "reclassification".


Q: Has the government or the RCMP officially announced they are "reclassifying" said firearms to "prohibited"?
A: The "reclassification" was un-announced and completed without informing the public ahead. It was only confirmed when firearm activists were able to obtain screen shots of the FRT table on the computer.


Q: What is current situation?
A: The government has just been made aware of the situation. A 5 year amnesty is being tabled by the Minister of Public Safety. Details are not known yet.
