Timaru police have quietly revoked about six firearms licences from people facing unrelated charges over the past year.
Following an initiative by Nelson/Tasman police to target disorderly behaviour, Timaru police are sending notices to offenders warning them they could lose their firearms licence or be refused a licence if they apply for one.
Timaru police firearms officer John Wainwright said anyone who held a firearms licence had to be "fit and proper" in the eyes of the law. If they broke the law through disorderly behaviour or traffic offences that could put their firearms licence in jeopardy.
Police had discretion on whether to proceed with revocation.
Mr Wainwright used the example of a young man whose driver's licence had been suspended seven times due to excess demerit points for speeding. He was refused a firearms licence.
In the past year 18 Timaru offenders had received notices which outlined the reasons for possible revocation. Offenders could appeal, citing reasons why they should retain their licence.
"The question is are they fit and proper if they are not abiding by the law? Are they responsible?" Mr Wainwright said.

Fascist? Really? That was just a few home truths - are you really that thin-skinned? You probably should leave the internet alone if that is the case....
You completely missed the point: again, wilful ignorance. Please also point out how your "gift to me" changes anything pointed out?
How are you going selling your story to Woman's Day?
Why don't you start a support group? ...You could call it "Whiners Anonymous."
Nothing you pointed out in your "rebuttal" indicates that you aren't a troll.
As for nothing nice to say - a series of truths in relation to your whinging (which multiple posters have pointed out) reiterates advice you have already received: quit you bitching princess

...you can argue the point in a court of law if you feel your license was declined because of traffic offences: you present a pretty extreme example.
As others have pointed out: you are the legal owner of the vehicle and are ultimately liable for it.
It looks like you should start your support group of like-minded whingers.
Funnily enough I just got one in the mail for going 56km in a 50. Can I be 100% sure it was me driving the vehicle? Not really but 99% sure.
Am I going to pay the $30? Yes
At lwaet your languge and grammer has impoved
You make a fair point but who knows what the future PC culture will be most certainly more cameras and hoops to jump through and I agree with the extreme and justifiable example on the part of the police you are correct.
This was the part that I have concerns with.
