Thread: Multiple addresses for security

I'm sure this has come up before, but I can't find it for the life of me. The search function is pretty limited.

I'd like to have my security verified at two addresses, as I spend time at both. One is a family member's who has no FAL in NZ, but has had pistol and various licenses overseas in multiple countries. He hasn't got one here as he's not into hunting, but had shorts for security purposes. "I came to NZ specifically not to have to carry a bleedin' gun ever again" - his words. However, 20 years on he's started making noises that he wouldn't mind doing a bit of practical pistol shooting just to keep me suitably chastened hahaha

I will be spending quite a bit of time living between the two addresses, and can't be arsed having to go and retrieve a firearm on the day I need it, to then go back the other way down country to go use it. I also would like to take all practicable steps to keep up my end of the deal re keeping endorsed firearms safe from dickheads, thieves and wrongdoers. I don't mind spending the money to get a decent safe to put in at his place, in fact I already have one to go in anyway, just for my peace of mind (staying there and want to go out for dinner and lock a 22 bolt action away for instance, as opposed to an E cat etc). What are the chances of the police allowing me BCE verified security at both places? I will be the only one able to access the safes, and the other place has arguably slightly better security too, as I have more scope to make it 'safe' at this freehold house than my renter..
