    I simply can't believe that he would still have his FAL, and I doubt he has.
    Under the Arms Act, any commisioned police officer can revoke someone's FAL. It doesn't have to go through the courts, so I suspect (hope!) it was revoked but not reported in the article as it wasn't part of the court process/sentencing.

    I think we should all dress up as ignorant people and demand the judge be banned or at least registered and stored in a concrete strong room at the local court house.
    Also would be a sensible idea to limit all judges capacity and remove their bayonet lugs.

    REMEMBER PEOPLE, THESE JUDGES ARE DANGEROUS WEAPONS AND SHOULD NOT BE IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN.

    Im gonna quit my job, ditch my shoes and walk the length of NZ carrying a flag proclaiming the outrage of the people regarding this issue.*

    I seriously doubt that there is a requirement to have a firearms license for farm job...of any level. Useful yes...requirement ....hmm nah. Plenty of people around in the rural sector with a firearm or access to one.

    Last I sat mine I was really suprised how many Filipinos were sitting there license to , all on the back of the no clubbing calf’s no doubt & fare enough but end of the day the justice system has let NZ down again or maybe it’s just us law abiding firearms owners that have had all this safety and common sense drumbed into us we have lost sight of what’s actually going on in the eyes of the law...man drinks beer & fires pot shots at neighbours “judge” oh well you didn’t hit anyone and u were pissed ...oh go on then home D , no u won’t loose ur job and maybe that scallywag neighbor and his 4 kids needed a hurry up , keep your nose clean for the next 5 years and you can reapply for your license , p.s you won .
    maybe us lot are taking things to seriously...got me thinking my neighbors got some turkeys that are really pissing me off I’m thinking I could let loose with a box of buckshot into his coup and I’ll be sweeeeeet oh I’ll drink some jimmy before hand to make sure it’s more his fault rather than mine

    What if part of his job was shooting rabbits, possums, goats, deer and other pests? And home killing stock?

    Who knows what his boss pays him to do?

    Why shouldn't it be the same for a firearms licence?

    I like your thinking, if we all said we were taxi drivers we could drink beer and drive happy in the knowledge we won’t loose our Driver’s License as we need it for our job

    Because clearly he is not a fit and proper person to hold a firearms license.Thus he is not suitable for that job if it requires a license.

    He has proven that it puts other peoples lives at risk. He has proven beyond any doubt that he lacks the judgement for safe firearms handling. If he is only a moron when he is drunk then perhaps he should have decided NOT TO DRINK while he was still sober. Drink is not an excuse. We know we can make dumb decisions when drunk but perhaps the dumb decision was to drink to start with and he made that call while sober.

    This is not one accidental discharge, the guy was shooting at their house and then their car. This is not like simple drunk driving it's trying to mow people down with a car while drunk. FFS if he still has his license then the Judge and the police involved should be all fired.

    If a firearm licence was a stipulation of the position, then the job vacancy(for his replacement) advertisement should read something along the lines of "only applicants with a firearms licence need apply".
    How would you, I, or anyone apart from the employer and employee know what the job description was?
