Thread: New week, new 'Ultra Vires' Police Action

The majority of people I don't think are heavily invested enough into shooting to have the desire to get pro active. That's not a dig that is just a reality. It is slowly changing though. People I know personally who haven't given a toss in past years have got off the fence this time.

another week another contradiction....

Why is "what is now being said" dated six months before the date on the "what was said"?

The date on that letter is wrong from when it was sent to the dealer.
Ask the police why they put the wrong date on it.

If you read the first sentence you can see it was written in reply to an email written in June last month.

Wasn't it T stone coppers with the last court thing.....are they still employed?
Must be where they went too. Think that is what we call an upgrade

As an update to this, I received a reply from the Private Secretary for the Minister for Police on 7th August, and the information on the website has now been changed.

Dear Mr koshogi,

Thank you for drawing to our attention the incorrect wording on the Police website referring to the Arms Code.

The message is in the process of being changed to read as follows.

Please note:

Since the 2013 Arms Code was published, there has been a change to processes for purchasing or acquiring a firearm as it relates to mail order and internet sales.

If you are purchasing firearms or ammunition in any non-face-to-face transaction you must provide an order form to Police (Police have a standard form for this). Police will verify your firearms licence details, certify the order form, and provide the certified order form direct to the seller.

This does not apply to transfers of pistols, restricted weapons or military style semi-automatic firearms which have their own process, requiring a permit to procure issued by the Police to the person wishing to acquire these items.

The Code is currently being reviewed in consultation with members of the Firearms Community Advisory Forum and other subject matter experts and a revised version is scheduled to be published online and in hard copy in late 2017.



The message is now fully consistent with the detailed information on mail order sales contained elsewhere on the website.

I apologise for the delay in responding to your email.
