    Oh dear.
    I had heard there is history but wouldn't dare too speculate.
    No deer hunting for him. (I just had to spell 'deer' 3 different ways in one post).

    Such a shame - I would have loved the opportunity to have opened such I franchise the likes of a H&F outlet - we should not judge as there is no proof of foul play as yet - but if there is - silly boy and has blown a golden opportunity !!

    You'd have to wonder how much trade they were going to get once the bypass goes past Otaki though- all those businesses are going to take a hit.

    And he's not the only H&F store owner to have had his fire arms licence revoked either.

    This doesnt not look good for all concerned at all. I hope if offenses have been committed then wet bus tickets are not whipped out BUT I also hope that our Stirling boys in Blue have not gone off all 1/2 cocked again and essentially ruined someones business just because.


    As an aside, many years ago Otaki Hunting and fishing were the only ones who were happy to send me a brand new Beretta U/O to try (ie actually shoot it on clay's or in the field) on the condition "that if it came back with any marks on the stock I owned it" and their pricing was better than anywhere else and we were npt talking about a cheap one either. Never had another Gunstore offer to do that before or since

    Sad but unfortunately true, ironically Charlie has been charged with selling Charlie (cocaine).

    Yes but I would guess that the manager there has his own dealers license.
