Thread: This question again

Hi guys. Just my ha'pennys worth. Just been vetted for a renewal as well ( now approved says the nice letter from my AO).

When the vetter came round, he asked to see my security, so took him to my downstairs garage, pointed to the old steel locker wedged between the wall and my work bench, and told him it was bolted to the floor/ bench/ wall, and had 2 heavy duty padlocks on it.

He then asked where I stored the bolts and ammo, so I took him upstairs, pointed out the kitchen window at one of the sheds, and said, in there, inside locked steel ammo cases.

He didn't ask to unlock the safe, or want to view the ammo storage, just ticked the boxes on the form.

Interestingly, he did ask for 1) list of all my firearms, an 2) if I had the serial numbers. I raised my eyebrows at both questions, but listed the arms, but could not tell him the serials, as I hadn't got round to recording them ( tomorrow's job though).

I guess there are huge variations between not only vetters, but also AO's. The AO in Upper Hutt seems ok, but the Lower Hutt one can be a bit of a grouch (especially if you are asking him to sign off an S43a form.). Still, maybe I caught him on 3 off days
