Thread: New Arms Regulations From 17 January 2019

Appears mainly to be allowing Import Permits, Permits to Procure and the like be applied for and issued electronically.

The only other real change I've noticed so far is that "The Commissioner may direct that only certain members of the Police may issue permits or licences or grant endorsements under the Act." I suppose that's to make it clear and stop people asking random cops to sign mail order permits etc. Just found it, all hard copy mail order permit applications must go through an Arms Office or be sent electronically.
