you know the ANTIs are watching,so why would you willingly give them ammunition to use against the law abiding?????

Do you mean the bit about having a cold one while in a room full of guns?

No different to having a beer while cleaning one.

So long as all the ammo is put away I cant see a problem.

I can see why the antis would try use it as ammo against us normal people though.

Cannot hurt, but I do wonder who the audience is here.

What a complete waste of tax payer money. Paper mill closing down because there is a lower demand for news print and they choose to advertise in news papers with diminishing readership. Fucking brilliant!

yeah, I see your point.

I should refrain from mentioning my habit of having a cold one while looking after the kids too. Probably have cyfs on my case!

I must remember not to drink if I am ever in a room full of guns!!!

Ps, Alpers if you are reading this, How's that phony university qualification going?

the golden opportunity to dob someone in you dont like - like your ex-partner , your nosy neighbour , the big mouth at work.....

Time to dob in the local officer who leaves their patrol car unlocked, or when they miss use their firearms. It’s well known than may of the force, do not have practical experience even with their annual Training. Please don’t take me as being anti law enforcement. Just pitty the boot don’t fit for all?

So are they going to use this as ammo against gangs in NZ ?

Or is it okay for them to leave their illegal guns just laying around ?

I’ve just noticed that firearms owned by the Crown (which I assume includes all police and military firearms) are NOT required to be marked with identifying marks OR have details provided to the Police for inclusion in the registry OR to record any particulars, whether in the registry or elsewhere.
Really? The defence force and police don’t need to record the details of their firearms anywhere? WTF!!!I guess that once the registry comes in, that means all guns seized from criminals that aren’t in the registry must be govt firearms stolen or sold on the black market.

Yea they do, all military guns have serial numbers

says they are not the police.......in the "about us" page , we are an independant charity bla bla ........ so obviously have their agenda . wonder what other "charities" they are affilliated to . at least they put their names up so if they ever decide to run for a political party they can be identified and avoided

I had that appear on my phone randomly. Thought about letting them know most gang members will have an illegal firearm...

Looking at Australia their storage rules are way over the top compared to ours.

Mate had a security inspection last week over the hill and was told his ammo had to be locked away, bolts stored separately, and he was asked for a list of his firearms and serial no’s. He called me seeking advise…..unbelievable that this stuff is still happening.

I told him to ask the guy why it had taken 6 months for the inspection given the change of address was sent 7 months ago….

Tell your mate to politely refuse to let them view or even touch his guns. And to ignore the request to remove bolts or mags except to show the guns are unloaded.

And tell the cops to put their request in writing. So he can smear them with it at a later date.

Currently they have no legal right make people to do that. One of their proposed new regulations would allow them to get a list of number and type of firearms, but that isn’t law yet, and still doesn’t include serial numbers etc.

When the guy came to do my renewal recently i asked him if he wanted to see inside the safe or check firearms he said no its not required..and thatz was it
