We are in Canterbury and our insurance company has been great to deal with after the quakes. (AA insurance) Maybe we got lucky. But that tit needs to sort the damage he caused.

+1 for aa, contents all sorted and done quick smart, yet to get the house looked at though.... Asked to be put on the low priority list though, can live with a cracked window duct taped up

Hey. Nope no contact from him at all. My dad isn't happy. Insurance were beggars and dad will be making sure the car is as it was. Blackwells have been superb here in Chch for accomadating him. Apparently holding the panels for me to frame too a bit of "we don't know how lucky we are" lyrics to go with it i think.
Sadly they won't replace the leather seats as it won't match so we will be looking for a company that will source or repair the minor but obvious damage to once pristine seats.

We have heard nothing more from police or anything at all from the perpetrator.

Will hopefully get more information in the coming weeks.

Would be nice to see if anyone here knows him. An apology would be nice. I'm not angry it happened. Shit happens. I'm annoyed he didn't man up and stay to sort it out face to face.

We have a court date !
this Friday (12th May 2017)
Not sure on a court room yet but will be in the Christchurch District court.
I am in touch now with Victim support (apparently the police never filed for us to be kept informed or looked after) so it was all on our own back, to get the court room and name to go and publicly view the matter and see what he will be charged with.

So here is hoping i can bring the outcome to the thread.

Well I have to be honest and point out that the media never lets the truth get in the way of a good story. I mean they have to twist it up to make guns look bad somehow........If they can twist it for a little more drama they will, regardless of the truth...Should be called stuff''d or stuff all as that is about the result and/or how much truth is usually involved...

Thanks I will pass those details on

Funnily enough it was the court room news people who wrote it. The whole thing is just an absolute balls up

This just gets worse as far as I am concerned. It appears as though his intent was to walk into the shop with a loaded firearm and from what has happened he most certainly is not a well disciplined individual in his handling of firearms as the bloody thing was loaded when it should not have been loaded and at the time the incident occurred he has put his fingers on the trigger and applied pressure. So what did the judge have to say about the idiot when passing judgement? I am sure we can all make mistakes but this bugger has made too many to keep his Firearms License in my opinion. In his actions he has failed to follow the code (yes I know the code is not law and it is only there for our guidance) and he has blatantly ignored rules 1,2,3 and 6.

Court day today. This whole event has caused grief in my family. Here is hoping for some form of relief.
Car is still in the shop
Dad hasn't been great

I hope you get some satisfaction mate. Sad that morons do dum shit like this, makes us all look bad. Good luck
