Without the clarifications to the "new" FAL rules, we are just speculating and possibly making things harder.

There are several sources of law that are presently effecting the rights and obligations of civilian gun owners.
AAB285 is enacted but not yet in force.
What our posts have referred to has largely been about a recent High Court decision.
Some of the issues in that High Court decision are still sub-judice.

The controversy surrounding the use of the alphabet by police is old hat and has been around since June 2009. See the link in my previous post if you'd like to read it for yourself.


More information will be provided in a few days when we have a further clarification we are expecting from the High Court. The settled issues are (1) a P2P is not required to manufacture an endorsable firearm in New Zealand (2) Contrary to the edict in the police arms officers manual, security precautions do not have to be installed, inspected and approved prior to the issue of an endorsement.

PLEASE NOTE: Nothing in our posts intends in anyway to convey the rules and procedures concerning firearms ownership from the police perspective. We do not view the police as an authority on firearms law. Our posts concern the law as determined by Parliament and the Courts; not police opinion. Police administer the Arms Act; nothing more.
