Don't mention anything about Hunting on your application form.

Do mention Membership of a Rifle Club, competing in Military and 3 Gun matches and/or Pest Control.

Don't pick Referees that will mention anything to do with Hunting

Oh and dont say anything about needing an MSSA for Hunting when speaking with the Interviewing Officer.

Upgrade your security to meet E cat requirements, 6mm steel safe is easiest/cheapest, purpose built strongroom is hardest/dearest.

Good Luck.

I took my ak and 30rnd mag hunting. Saw nothing though. Will keep trying till I blast bambi with its iron sights. Why not. (ps, at my current rate of hunting trips, this might take a few years...)

Just reading above, why should you not mention hunting when talking to the officer? If its legal to go hunting with an MSSA then how could they decline to give you an endorsement if you say that's what your going to do?

No what we saw then and now is plain fear and paranoia from the blue nancys. Apologists like yourself will always have some excuse, and can often be quite noisy, defending your pets, but I have a fond hope that you still are a minority.

WTF?
You are such a tool, its almost funny.

Another idiot to add to the block list, alongside systolic.

Jesus steady on there, your going to block me next.

As soon as a guy starts calling police 'pigs', we have a winner.

Just to calm things just a little, The Health and safty act demands that employers take all steps to ensure the safty of you employees, therefore PHQ are going to insist that any event, arrest etc has the troops tooled up incase of un-expected trouble.

Carlsen, I knew he was a tool back in July, no rush at all.
As Tommy mentions, this twit refers to Police as 'pigs' and Muslim people as 'rag heads' online.

Is that the strange 'MuRiCaN from Florida?

Actually the term "Pigs " is not a derogatory word when discribing the Police . It has a English reference ( to their beginings ,Bow Street Runners ) and the American term as in Pride . Integrity . Guts .
And as the Devils advocate you have to ask yourself if it is O.K to go tooled up when there might be weapons on site . What would they do differently when they know their are weapons on site . Tear gas and Flash bangs all round no doubt , and all you did was to forget to pay the Gas bill .

I am guessing that they can then say that you could use an ar15 a category instead or a bolt action. Whereas the 3 gun requires a big mag capacity.

I just had this same debate with another shooter online the other day. Remember that magazine capacity is only one of several MSSA features. Why shouldn’t we have folding/telescopic stocks, pistol grips, flash suppressors or bayonet lugs on a semi auto used for hunting? The reason these features are used to classify MSSAs is because they’re fairly common features of the examples of firearms they wanted restricted post Aramoana. Nothing dangerous about them.

Well unless you were using the bayonet to stick a pig then most of those features aren't too useful for hunting I think.

The restrictions were just reactionary behaviour from police failings. I agree with you that there isn't anything dangerous abbot an e cat.

A large mag capacity is rather handy when you come across a mob of goats
