Thread: How "cool" is cool for gunpowder storage.

No one has come back to the question of which legislation this is?

It is in the arms code but unsure if it was in legislation.

@Sideshow Oh yes I did..............see post # 20. I expected some flack challenging the Arms Code as not being Legislation and I have my view on that, but I'm not going to start a dog fight debate about that here,

Mainly 'cos Constable Plod who thinks he creates the law and knows all has said it is illegal BUT does not produce any justification for saying so.........apart from "I said so."

I'm just looking for a resolution to avoid problems with either Plod or Boom.

It states it is illegal but doesnt cite the law....police are known lairs so I would like to see the actual piece of legislation.

This I have already acknowledged and also said I'm not up for a dogfight on how "Legal" is the "Code."

So, if you want it, I leave you to get it and wish you well and good luck under the current tyranny,

Not looking for a fight, just thought some one may link or copy paste it here.
Lots of clever people here who seem to be able to do that stuff... I'm not one of them.

Here is what you are looking for I believe. The only place I can see that states that smokeless powder (Class 1.1D) can not be stored in a dwelling is in section 23-3 but that relates to a Class 1 substance held under lock and key.
When you look further down to Table 7 it states that less then 15 kgs of Class 1.1D does not need to be under lock and key.
Hopefully someone else can point us in the direction of where it says we aren't allowed to store less than 15kgs of smokeless powder in our dwellings.

One other thing I found interesting is that in clause 13A it says no one is allowed to display Class 1 substances for sale other than Fireworks. Guncity may need to take note!

Hazardous Substances (Classes 1 to 5 Controls) Amendment Regulations 2003 (SR 2003/177) (as at 01 December 2017) – New Zealand Legislation

It's in the HSNO regulations.
I did track down the actual legislation a while back, it was quite hard to find as there are lots of different bits of legislation. Under 15kg you are okay with a FAL and storing separate to a dwelling, over 15kg a pile of extra storage and licensing requirements kick in.
