All I can find with reference to a boat is
"Boat"
"Duck shooters should check their game license before using a firearm in a boat."
So what does this mean in relation to discharging a firearm from a boat?

i while ago i watched an episode of Outdoors with Geoff where they went fishing and shot a few clays off the side of the boat. with a voiceover he said clearly that you are allowed to shoot firearms from boats. i wonder where he got this info from
If I recall correctly, P&O were advertising clay bird shoots off the stern of some of their boats - for paying customers, some years ago.
Probably way out to sea and under power, in international waters.
I did some clay bird shooting from a charter launch on Lake Taupo a few years ago. The police arms code (not the law, I know) says having a loaded firearm in a vehicle is illegal. I'm sure the police wish it was, but not sure what they'd charge you with if you were found in that situation.

The restriction on loaded firearms in vehicles, only applies to motor vehicles on roads, not on water.

Loaded firearm also includes any loaded magazines. Strange you can have ammo rolling round the footwell but not in a mag
That is viewed as internal magazines by many. It hasn't been interpreted by a NZ court yet (AFAIK).
A loaded magazine, not attached to a firearm is not viewed as "Loaded" in TOETs or drills in either the military or NZ Police, or even civilian range commands. So how could it be interpreted otherwise?
85%, no make that 95.5% of magazines targeting females of the populace are total shite...
Tangent from this thread.... What are restrictions regarding ammunition storage when travelling? In a pack under supervision.... In your pocket.... Back of an unlocked truck out of sight....
