    I'm in the process of getting my B endorsement and so far it's been pretty good. My probation period was interrupted by lock down. Once I had completed it and sat my safety and range test I sent the form off to PNZ. They informed me they had sent it off to the police 2 weeks later and advised me to contact the arms officer. After a couple of phone calls and an email a very nice lady contacted me to apologise for not being in touch sooner, confirm they had received it and the vetting officer would be in touch. He called me within a few days to arrange a time to suit both me and my wife. Less than a week later he was round to interview me and my wife and check my security. He didn't over step his authority and was friendly and efficient. He had over an hours drive to my place and visited after we had got home from work. He had already been to see the club secretary.
    He said the file would be reviewed but could see no problems and hoped my card would be with me in 2 to 3 weeks. He said to allow a month just in case.
    He did say they did have a backlog of renewals but they had cleared most of it now.
    I must say I'm impressed and pleasantly surprised after hearing of the problems others are having. Really can't say enough good about the arms office in Whangarei.
