    In general I thought it is an big improvement on the old one, however there are a few interesting things in it?

    Like,
    Licensing, Police will ask you how many firearms you own? And you will be asked to justify the number of firearms you hold?
    If sending a firearm via courier, The bolts or other working parts of the firearm(s) must be sent in a separate package on a different day.
    The Police will record your sporting (‘A’ category) firearms for you if you wish. This is usually done as a matter of routine during licensing enquiries.
    Definition of a pistol which includes, any firearm that is less than 762 mm in length. ( I believe this is going to be challenged in court)

    There seems to be a a few things in it that Police want, being pushed as policy that are currently outside of what the arms Act states.
    I need to renew my licence, will be interesting to see how that goes.
    Moved house at the end of last year and the AO was very reasonable when came to check my gun safe, hopefully the next visit will be just as pleasant.
