I for one, feel that the roadshow was sincere, and at the very least it should lead to improved “customer service experiences” for us legitimate firearms users

Trust me, it was as insincere as can be. It was case of him being FORCED to hold the meetings as he'd be told by the minister to do so. I suspect that the "improved customer service experiences" will at some point come to fruition with things like online applications etc. However these are not our biggest issues as a community, just because you apply online doesn't mean they won't continue to decline, refuse applications with zero legal ability to. Makes no difference if they tell you to fuck off in a letter or an email.
