Agreed, or follow you home from the range. Or with minimal sleuthing, (in some cases) trace a Trademe listing, or even members of this forum. But the whole deal is about minimising risk and I do have direct control over giving out a list of my FA inventory as part of some nebulous requirement.

They do have a data base of collected serial numbers they say it is so you can keep them safe incase of a robbery, A few years ago there were 5 burglaries in the Wellington area where only selected firearms were
taken as if they had a shopping list all were cat B and C firearms turns out a cop in the know sold the information, don't know if anyone got charged for it but does not instil confidence in the Police to keep our
information secure, The less they know about what you have the better.

Nope.

I mostly trust the police, but missing glocks and the odd pound or two of meth going astray from evidence safes leaves me wanting to keep that info to myself thanks very much.
