    So they / we do. The government security vetting process is something separate. It is generally around loyalty and trustworthiness. And no that is not linked to firearms licensing for and proper testing... Although wouldn't that be neat...

    The nail on the head. That medical form, no doubt authored by NZP not by any medical organisation, is putting the onus on the GP to judge someone fit and proper. There is no way in heaven, earth or hell that a GP can say someone is "no risk", you can only say someone is background risk but it's the GANFYD culture and cops like everyone believe a doctor's note absolves them from accountability, at least it gives them something to tell the media if things go tits up.

    In the UK there are a lot of anti-gun GPs and you can have some difficulties if the practice you are with is full of such cardigan wearers.

    One has to smile at the number of lines for medication on the form...5...I would need a shit load more than that if I had to state all my medications...I would ask my doctor to only list the mild 5
