In September last year, on his 16th birthday, my son qualified for his drivers licence and his firearms licence.
I'd paid, he'd down the safety course and submitted the paperwork and been vetted weeks before his 16th birthday.
Both, in my opinion, are licences to kill.
His drivers licence arrived 3 working days after qualifying at 4pm - to a rural address.
Essentially 1 working day to print and post.
His FAL arrived about 10 weeks later. Essentially same printed card with different details.
I'd suggest the Police contract the printing to NZTA who seem to be able to do a much quicker job.
