Thread: NZDA requires FAL number

The Clubs and Ranges law has many requirements that Shooting Clubs are now required to comply with.

All clubs that hold organised shooting events are required to register as Shooting Clubs
If they sent in their application before June 24 they can continue operating - if they filed the application form after the 24th then you can't operate till after your club is approved.

If you are registered as a shooting club the law requires all shooting clubs to record the firearms license number of the members who have a license.
All range operators are required to record all the Range Officers/Duty Officers firearms license numbers and record the details of all who attend shooting events
All those participating in a shooting event will have their details recorded.

There is nothing in the law that requires licensed firearms to provide their license details to the shooting club, so anybody supplying their license details is doing so willingly.
Those who have a firearms license are concerned about the security of their personal details in the registry, now their details will be stored in several places, the registry, the National Association (NZDA, TSNZ etc) plus the shooting club they are a member of ie Branch

My understanding of the law is that the only person that you HAVE to produce your firearms license to is the Police if they request it

How secure are all these databases going to be and who is going to have access to the details?
