Thread: Firearm License unrelated referee

Need some advice for a mate. Ideally from someone who has to deal with a similar situation.
He is a keen hunter and was a pest controller in South Africa and just moved here last month. He has his NZ residency and is really keen to get his firearm license.
He has his missus as first referee however the second referee must be unrelated, must know him for at least 3years and live in NZ.

I have only known him for few months so no point putting my name up and unfortunately all the other person he knows here are related:brother, in law ect.

Anyone been in this situation? Hopefully there is a way for him to make it work otherwise he is looking at a 3years wait…
