Thread: Moving to NZ from US

Welcome to the forum, @ak888.

I recently queried how to get a pistol licence, which you need to own a pistol in NZ. The long and short of it is, join a pistol club and compete (not participate) 12 times a year, for at least a year before you become eligible to apply for a firearm licence with pistol endorsement. You'll also need to make friends with people who can act as referees and impress them with your character, or you won't get any category firearm licence. You'll also need a secure, approved safe to store a pistol and any other firearms, although the pistol storage specification is more stringent.

For a Glock, you'd need a really good reason to not sell it and buy locally when you are in a position to do so legally.
