I'm headed over to NZ for a tahr hunt in November with a mate. I'll be flying into Christchurch and meeting up with him in Timaru. Question - is it permissible to catch a bus with a firearm in NZ? (it sure as hell wouldn't be in OZ). It will be locked in a hard case with bolt and ammo separated.
then there should not be a problem, I have travelled via public transport from hawkesbay to otago with guns and ammo with no qualms
Yup, you just need to "check in" your firearm.
Let them know and make sure the bolt is out
Great, that sounds easy enough - thanks everyone.
I just called the company ahead of time and let them know u was going to be taking my rifle with me. All they wanted was to know what his I was taking so they could let the driver know.
I went overboard with security and had the rifle in a lock box that I chained to the posts in the bus storage, And then carried ammo and bolt etc in my carry on (driver didn't care if I had the rifle with me in the seat)
Put it in a guitar case and just have it as carry on between your legs on the bus. People will be non the wiser.
Assuming it has one :thumbsup:Quote:
