    But no, it can only be del to my home address where it will sit at the front door, or a courier depot?
    I argued that the safest place for del was my work. He told me that was not one of my choices and he would not issue me a permit unless I gave him one of the options on the form for del.
    I told him that I didnt think that was law, he said it was police interpretations and he wouldnt talk to me any further, it was my residence or a courier company and I could ring back with what I was going to do and he was not going to continue the conversation and would hang up!!
    really logic, no wonder we lose firearms in this country.
    I have dealt with the same issue.

    You are absolutely correct. The law does not restrict where your firearm or ammunition is sent.

    What he, and many in POLHQ don't get, is that the s43a is not a 'permit'. It is merely verification that that a Police Officer has sighted your licence and you are a a 'fit and proper person'.

    No legal requirement to use 'their form'. No legal requirement that your purchase is sent to an 'approved location'.

    Thankfully some people know the law, and aren't concerned with the Police 'interpretation'. Once the seller receives the endorsed form, they can send it anywhere you ask them too.

    I was told on know uncertain terms I had three choices and I had to choose one or he would not issue the S43a and I couldnt buy the rifle by post, I chose the worse option for thief, if it goes missing he told me I had no choice, he will be getting a call. We rang a friendly AO in Auck and was told they are not enforcing it, logic rules, it would have come to me at work. I will be asking his boss what is going on, once I get my rifle. The mans not fit to hold the position!
    Boom, cough,cough,cough
