I'm mindful of when I went into my local arms office, as I wanted an S43A form to purchase an A cat firearm from a different city here in New Zealand (they had just imported it for me and had it in store already) and the arms officer I struck was a woman. She marched me upstairs into the interview/interrogation room, in front of the video camera (don't know if it was on or not) and pulled a book off the shelf, threw it on the table and said "here read this. If the firearm you're after isn't listed in there, then you're not allowed it!" (and about that abruptly too!) Well, I read it, and guess what, the firearm I was after (a Volquartsen 10 shot semiautomatic 17 HMR) was not listed in there!

I managed to get onto a man cop and the form was expedited to me promptly, by patrol car, "hand delivered to me personally, at my address"!

You see, women lack the ability to use discretion, and therefore, automatically default to the book, and WHAT A BOOK THEY HAVE!

Unfortunately this was a male arms officer. My usual one is a woman and generally pretty good
