For your E?????

maybe they arent bothering at the mo.

For any endorsment they bring out this new book, yes a book that contains the interview everything from what locks you have on your doors and windows to how much you drink per week. Even the new A cat interview has changed asking if anyone with a so called mental illness comes to your house, all very quite intrusive and outside of the arms act, its all police policy written by university nuts that dont know buckshot from bullshit!

Sweet.

Hey Guys just filled my application in today, already have a couple of safes so good to go, will keep you updated

Did you guys get the question, "What are your responsibilities when using a firearm for hunting or self defence?"
It's a trick question isn't it?

Yes the interview for myself and my referees was the same as done for an A cat license. Didn't even ask why I needed MSSA's (well the application form does). I was asked "what do you know about your rights regarding self defense". I basically said if you're gonna shoot somebody in self defense you can only do so if you feel your life is in immediate danger. The answer they are looking for is - you can use reasonable force, and because of our storage laws, it is impractical to keep a gun for home defense, because the police think that if you can quickly access a firearm during a home invasion, you probably aren't storing your firearms and ammunition in accordance with the act. No guns for self defense basically.

I got a different answer entirely, you can use a firearm for defence, but police may decide to charge you regardless.

Thanks for the heads up

Oh yea he said you could use a firearm for sure, it all depends on the circumstance how they would view it. It isn't a big deal with regard to the interview, just don't say "there's a gun stashed in every corner of my house", you might not get it.

If I remember - the interview was basically the A cat one again with 1 page at the end for the E cat part

Just listened to the regions new AO at deerstalkers meeting, Firstly was surprised at the area he has to cover Hast up and round to Kiakoura!

One thing he said more than once is "hunting" IS now a valid reason for wanting an "E" endorsment
