Thread: Armed police arrest man after gun spotted on Wellington street

I generally get a lot of interest from passers by about what I'm looking for, what types of animals are around etc. A lot encourage you to shoot the goats too as they know they are a bit of a pest. The funny looks all come from millenials aged looking people. Mainly females. If its from a male millenials, it's usually because he looks pussy whipped.

A young boy at a Campsite last week did the 'he's got a gun' bit. A few mins later his mum came over for a chat and asked what I was looking for. She examined that her and her husband have a forestry block and have goats. She said neither she or her partner culled them but had someone come to the block to do it for them.

Can we not be seen by the public putting our firearms in or out of our vehicles now without this s**t happening? Goodness grief.

That's the way it went in UK in my experience, I also always put my shotgun into a gun case dismantled so it was less obvious and you never discussed hunting or guns outwith your friends.

That's one of the reasons we left new labours socialist UK failed economy but it seems UK new labour has arrived in NZ I believe comrade globalist cindy worked with woke bankrupt labour UK around that time.

We love hunting fishing our gun dogs and the outdoors and have seen NZ change under comrade globalist cindy we might have to move yet again.

I am sure labour were discussing banning angling back in the late 70's

Those crazy fun socialists!

The thing is, if we are a law abiding LFAO what exactly are we doing wrong for this to happen? Be seen by the public? I would suggest the person calling the police has the problem without knowing the facts first.

The point I'm making is we shouldn't have to hide what we are doing if we are not breaking the law.

Guilt by association,no matter the facts or situation......we have all become “Tarrants” to some degree ...... the situation is blind to the “facts”

More armed shannigans

Brings to mind that Elian Gonzalez pic from back in the day.

You can hardly blame the ordinary public for reacting to the sight of a firearm or what they think might be one after the ChCh disaster and the ensuing beat up against all things guns. Public negativity, fear and assumptions are simply a natural consequence of this.

Negativity was around long before the Christchurch incident: think media reporting and Cahill's flappy lips.... It has gotten worse since then however....

I think it is more, the fear-factor. People now KNOW it CAN happen here. And yes, the Media is playing on this and That is irresponsible to say the least. Someone who is good at theses things ; should get National-Radio on to discussing these issues, before an FAL-holder is shot by our 'highly-trained' feds. I believe it is only a matter of time,before this happens if Public fear, isnt defused. Common-sense appears to be long-gone these days.

I had to go and euthanaise a young hogget in the paddock today - I didn't have access to a dog and there was no way she was going to come anywhere near me. So I chose to put a .22 bullet to her head from about 25 meters.

Unfortunately,

1/. it was a Government piece of land, and they are very jittery about firearms on their land, and
2/. it was in full sight of the public driving down a section of one of NZ' scenic routes.

I already have the Government Agency's permission for such occasions, but normally such things are carried out, out of sight of the public.
Initially I considered ringing Christchurch Police Control to alert them to what I was doing in the off chance some freaked out member of the public were to call it in.
Then I thought, why? I am doing nothing illegal. I am in the middle of the country in a paddock with sheep. I was draped in oil skins against the rain looking like a farmer, although I am not. I was in a farm vehicle. If the public could get upset with all of that, then all is lost in New Zealand.

I did the job, dumped the poor old hogget in the offal pit and have been home ever since. No SWAT teams have turned up in the last 11 hours, so I can only guess no member of the driving public or tourist was frightened by what they saw.

However, it did make me reflect that it is a sad time that we have come too in that we go about lawful, normal everyday tasks, but because their is a firearm involved we have to get all paranoid of what the public perception might be and whether armed Police will be mobilised to our location.

Things have changed irrevocably, I fear.

A good example Phil. Also the nervous looks or silence you sometimes get when you pass trampers on a track or taking your rifle out of your vehicle at the car park.

A "natural" consequence?

Hmmm, I dont think so. It was fueled by Govt, cop bosses and media that that is the way the public are to respond to such an occasion. If the govt, cops and media had of played it as an unusual one-off event of some import nut case who gained possession of firearms and lost the plot, the result from the public would have been very different and there would not have been the negativity towards firearms owners.

This reaction was staged, it was created and installed, it wasnt natural at all in my opinion.

The media are the scourge of the thinking man.

Sadly there’s a real shortage of THINKING men - or anybody.
