Worst bit is the Police decided not to charge the cop.

If it’s legal then, we should all do it?

Amazing.

So despite being in possession of what are in reality unregistered guns,jeopardising other people's FALs and misusing data he is still deemed of sufficient character to be a member of NZP?


Banana Republic Policing.

Police do not require a FAL to use firearms in the course of their duties. Neither do military personel. If unlicensed, they are unable to access or use them outside of their job same as any other unlicensed person. but in saying that, they are/should be held to a higher standard due to the nature of their role.

Personally I consider myself fairly liberal. Give people a second chance, try and see it from their side, if someone does something silly there must be more to the story than plain outright badness. Most of the time I think we have a high propensity to over react when people are just guilty of being human and often witch hunts can really be the fashion of the season.
But this story really shocks me and I think the actions of this individual are totally unacceptable and unjustifiable. One should never ever decieve their wife or partner, not for any reason, ever.

Get that bus ticket nice and moist and get ready to slap him reeeaaaalll gentle

So for anyone who has found it necessary or desirable for whatever reason, to conceal a firearm purchase from their spouse. Especially anyone who has been found by said spouse to have procured, what is the most likely/most common way by which these things become known of. Is it:

(A)- The new firearm is observed in your safe or your hands.

(B)- A please explain is issued in regards to a 2k cash withdrawal from the holiday savings account.

(C)- A genius mate of yours mentions your recent aquisition within earshot or on facebook.

(D)- Your spouse can and will access the register and check your details.

(E)- Other method (Please specify below)


Other than for a few selected careers, I am betting it isn’t (D). If it is/was in the case of the thread subject, it would make for interesting dinner table conversation in that house.

good work having the foresight to scan and save the article.....the cynic in me is thinking someone wants this buried while the review is still being worked on .....
which would suggest more bully boy tactics (although the spineless media wouldnt need much "persuasion" when it comes to firearms stuff )and dare i say it .....corruption.

Hmmmmmmmm

Interesting.

And yet if a FAL holder gets a speeding ticket it can be deemed behavior that is not "fit and proper".....

Although I am a huge fan of removing the administration of the firearms safety authority and its registry from the Police because of their ample demonstration of ineptitude in the task, I do not believe that doing so will ever result in Police not having access to the register. So even if it is taken away from Police administration, situations like the above could still occur as long as there are Police employees that for whatever reason are inclined to access the system with the intent to misuse the data in the register.

So have I got this right. You can purchase a firearm using someone elses fal, supply knowingly false info to the register and as long as your not profiting from it your fine? How cool ill try that next time I get caught speeding, hey officer but Im not profiting from this so its not illegal...

Aye, and what’s really stupid scary is the list of other govt departments or functions that have access to the registry. I saw the list somewhere and it’s like 10 or 12 or more. There will be some bad apples amongst the staff at all of them …. those willing and able to illegally game the system for their own benefit, or those who end up with “debts” to wrong people, or have a habit that needs ongoing “supplies”, or who can be bribed or coerced. The human element is a huge risk that simply can not be controlled or mitigated. This recent example however highlights a greater compounding risk…. Cover up and inability to deal to illegal behaviour when it is identified within govt service or department. How is the public meant to have any faith or trust in these organisations? Deathly silence from our mate Cahill !!!
