Thanks for the welcome.
Not sure if this is the right place in the forum for this question but I'd thought I'd ask anyway. I was thinking of applying for a NZ visitors firearms licence for my next trip over, and I wanted to find out how to organise firearm safe storage as part of the requirements for the licence. I remember applying via the NZ Police website and it said I needed the details and address of an already licenced person.
It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
Rule 5: Check your firing zone
Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
What city are you flying in to and what area will you be hunting? Those are probably going to determine where your storage arrangements need to be and hopefully you'll find a forum member in those areas willing to help you out. If you're basing yourself in Auckland, I might be able to help.
10MRT shooters do it 60 times, in two directions and at two speeds.
It's actually not a requirement for the licence. Only if your bringing one into the country. This section was crossed out on my licence. If you choose to purchase one while you're here, just ensure that you have found a suitable place to store it.
Just get your licence at the airport, Police counter near the baggage collection. You do not need to apply online. You will require an Australian Firearms licence, if you came from a country were firearms licences were not required (USA), you would not need that.
Remember that while it is valid for a year, it expires as soon as you leave the country. So you must reapply if you come back in, even if your previous licence "would" still be valid.
