Really? Do you recall who the AO was?
The Palmy AO (Greg N) is/was a GC and was always fantastic to deal with.

Potentially wasn't him then, he was an older uniformed police officer. Left a sour taste to say the least.

make an official complaint. it will at least make him do some annoying paper work.

fill the safe with highly inappropriate sex toys and inflatable animals.
I bet there wont be much more than a quick glance, followed by an embarrassed retreat.

Just a quick thought - as to prove what they do with this info. Ask them 3 months later to provide you a list of serial numbers of firearms that you are holding. If they say they don't have them, file a official request for all info held about you.
Would be interesting to see if they can find the record.

That sounds like a fun game

Actually I did this and asked for ALL information held about me and because I wasn't looking for firearm related information I didn't realize that my registered firearms and any firearm license related notes were missing.

So you asked for all, but didn't get all. Interesting, and more so, what else they have on file was missing from the result.

Exactly the point, how can I have any confidence in the system if one thing was "forgotten" for whatever reason, why not more?

The best reason I can think of to pull the govt info on yourself is to have an independent record of what they say they have on you

Should something arise down the road and they say that they know something, you can say that they only know as much as they have given you

Last time I did it it cost nothing but I had to go to the Post Office and sign for registered mail but that was a looong time ago..

You don't have many friends, do you?
