Thread: B & C cat firearms

Anyone here had a recent security inspection and been asked to demonstrate B or C cat firearms are stored in an "inoperable" condition? Just asking for a friend....

C-cat are to be stored with a vital part removed and stored separate. Prohibited a vital part must be stored at another property. Pistols and revolvers do not need a vital part removed, either B or C.

I am not attacking you Tasbay but how fucking ridiculous is that little rule. A full time pest controller would have to charge his customers for going somewhere else every day to get (say) his bolt carriage group for his AR15. What a fucking nonsense.

That's for collectors of prohibited rifles. The legislation is here: https://www.legislation.govt.nz/regu...LMS215587.html
Only applies to certain holders of prohibited rifles.
Does not include pest controllers and similar classifications.

Note; Nowhere do the regulations state that a FAL holder with a pistol target shooting endorsement (B) have to store vital parts separately for their pistols held under that endorsement.

Settle down Rushy. Pest control just slipped my mind as I was writing (it`s separate to what I originally wrote). P-Pest keeps Firearm with vital part stored at premises.

Endorsed firearm owner A stores the bolt for his Prohibited AR-15 at Endorsed firearm owner B's location.

Endorsed firearm owner B stores the bolt for his Prohibited AR-15 at Endorsed firearm owner A's location.

The logic of it all.

Numpties alright.

Settling as we speak. I just get riled when dumb gets dumber and stupid gets even more stupid.

I know when I re-newed my Firearm License a few months back I had to put down the details of who My Vital part was to be stored with. They had to have an endorsed license and I was told checked to see they didn`t have the same type of firearm registered as I have. I knew he had his C-General and B-cat but only held pistols so that was ok.

As @Tasbay mentioned, P is different...but it strikes me as complete numpty taht if you have a P endorsed semi auto SLR (as an example) and a C endorsed full auto capable SLR you can keep the parts for the full auto on site but not the semi auto.......the sheer muppertry of the twats boggles the mind....

If you are he sort of person who can get the endorsment to start with then you have proven yourself lawabiding and are not the sort of person who would break rules. Thus not the cort of person who will commit crimes with said bang sticks anyway....

Corrected my earlier statement.

Endorsed firearm owner A stores the bolt for his Prohibited AR-15 at Endorsed firearm owner B's location.
Endorsed firearm owner A also has a C-Cat M-16A3 in his safe with the bolt removed, but still secured at his location.

In response to Danger mouse the phrase I use to describe gun control laws is - virtue signalling ineffective policy
