Thread: Looking for someone trustworthy in Wellington ( yes I know it’s difficult)

Looking for some trustworthy in Wellington with regard to disposing of firearms, a relative has contacted about me his brother in laws firearms he has dementia and they wish to sell them, his mental capacity degraded very quickly the wife doesnt know who to deal with in the stores, only 4 guns two quality ones a weirauch hw 60 j 22 lr, and a steyr Mannlicher model L 243, the others are an older remo bolt action 12g and an incomplete Brno military action in a custom full wood sporter mannlicher style stock missing mag and floor plate in the white also cal 308. Are there any Wellington Locals who can recommend a good place for her to offload these ? It’s to complicated to list them on the forum and she certainly doesn’t want randoms Turing up on her doorstep. I feel I’m just to far away to be of any real help selling them being located in Dunedin

Sadly not even that old really

If you just want to quit them, ring Wayne at the Upper Hutt Gun Shop.

Bear in mind that taking these firearms and then selling them on his behalf would be an activating circumstance as far as having to register all your firearms.

Probs any easier to sell through a shop then

I could take them to the Upper Hutt gun shop for her but she wont get much for them.

That’s not a viable option and why we are seeking a trustworthy store

If selling them all none to register?

@blip - even if you sell the 4 firearms, you will then have to register all your own firearms as well though... that's how the activating circumstance part of the register works. Some people may not want to be in the position of having to register everything they have so early on in the roll-out of the register.

I don’t know about the bloke himself I’m dealing with the brother in law and wife the bloke is not with reality most of the time if they think it’s the best way to deal with it I’ll PM to see if its possible for you to assist his wife, plenty of people have messaged me saying your a good guy.
