We have firearms safety training already and yet hunters shoot each other. Putting firearms in the hands of angry people in a tense situation is fucking stupid.

Where abouts do you live anyway ?

gunnerjacky sounds like an ideal person to have access to firearms.
Nothing like self admitted hatred to balance you decisions on.

I hope your kids get far away from you as soon as possible and find a way to undo the rot you have no doubt instilled in their poor minds.
For some reason I picture you and your friends in white hooded robes..............

unfortunately we have here a classic example of the fact that even DNA has shortcomings.

Actually, it seems by the tone of his posts that he has a very different perspective to firearms ownership and use than we do. For what its worth, our Police are not the ones he does not like. I suspect he does not yet realise what we have down here.....

Perhaps a product of the awesome US education system, not realising other countries in the world have freedom.

Yeah.. have to admitt some of the safes i've seen arent exactly what i'd call secure..

Given your user name I would assume you have very high security standards

Actually know a close friend that works at hunting and fishing and have had a similar talk but not everything in your original post is true... I haven't read all 12 pages so forgive me if I'm repeating someone else's answer
To be short they have stopped stocking "ECAT" safes as new regulations are coming into place where a locksmith and engineer have to provide a cert for the safes now. Nothing has changed regarding ACAT. H&F will still sell you an ECAT safe but they need to order certain pre approved ones from there supplier to stop them from getting in the shit for selling you a supposed ECAT when really it's only an ACAT.

Hope this helps

"The report that comes with the safe is sufficient."

The reasoning is that they are going to an approved police engineer that will be the only one able to certify a firearms safe etc and each safe will have to be individually approved not just a model of safe. Apparently due to some safes being approved when really they shouldn't be and the police having no "control" over the certifier.

Anyone else heard anything about this happening?

Tauranga AO currently auditing E cat safes doing sight inspections making sure they comply.

So I wonder what happens of they decide they don't comply?

Don't know mate both my home builds comply

According to http://www.police.govt.nz/sites/defa...nts-pol67n.pdf, the minimum lock standard for Strongrooms, Rooms of stout construction, Steel boxes and cabinets, and Safes is a 5-lever Mortice lock complying with BS3621.

Strongrooms, Steel boxes and cabinets, and Safes require 2x locks, while Rooms of stout construction seem to only require 1. That fucks my safe.

From a security perspective, I wonder how a Group 1 combination dial compares to a 5-lever mortice lock.

Buggers me too, my safe only has one digital combo lock with a single key lock backup. It would be interesting to know how many people have the Sentry Safe like me and how the police are going enforce their "new rules"? I was planning on building a "room of stout construction" anyway, but whats to stop them changing their mind on that too?
