Thread: Carrying firearm on doc track

I checked on my new DoC permit:

5. No firearm shall be discharged:
• In the vicinity of huts, tracks, campsites, road-ends or other public places.
• Within 500m of a Great Walk Hut or track. More about New Zealand's Great Walks.
• In a manner that endangers, frightens or annoys members of the public, or that endangers any
property.

My opinion is that the third one about "endangers, frightens or annoys" is the key one because if there is no complaint there is no problem.
The 500m only applies to Great Walks which are limited.
The "in the vicinity of ..." is intentionally vague as vicinity just depends on the circumstances ...

The circumstances are discussed in all the worthy posts above. It's not a legal question.
