Yes it is. The arms were not loaded and as long as they aren't loaded and amunition is stored seperately, all you do is essentially transport them from point A to point B, which is legal as long as you are not a convicted felon. It is essentially the same in the eye of the law as taking your rifle from your house to the shooting range.

Yes it is. See above for the stipulations.

Yes, you can not own, use or display assault weapons. Modified and de-militarized guns are permitted though. Meaning: the AK's they demonstrated with had no setting for full automatic or bursts. You can only shoot one shot at a time which essentially makes it a hunting or sporting rifle. Lots of gun clubs down here allow these modified weapons to be shot in e.g. service rifle matches.

See explanation above. Anything military including MG's, Tanks etc. are not permitted to be owned. Exception is MG's which can be obtained witha special license which is sinfully expensive and hard to get as you have to go through a lot of gvt. crap to get it.

Something is very wrong here.

There ya go knocking TX again...
Pickups are awesome for many reasons and very practical.
Guns well these guys take it a little overly serious just ask the guy in the next office over from me. He has calendars and mini replica's of every gun he owns on a shelf...
BBQ... uhm.. I think we had a haze warning during the rodeo cook off... 'NUFF of this.
