Thread: Should this dropkick get his FAL back?

"Hore, who was not present for the appeal, pleaded guilty to one charge of supplying a firearm to Parker, who was an unlicensed person."

"The court heard the shooting party of six was travelling on an ATV when Parker and two others, Carn Parata and Quinton Gallagher, fell off the vehicle as it went over rough terrain.

The men later claimed a firearm fell off the vehicle when it discharged causing injury to Parker's arm.

All three men who fell off the vehicle were highly intoxicated, St John ambulance officers who attended the scene said."

"St John volunteer Jayne Hazlett said Gallagher, Parata and Parker were highly intoxicated.

She described Gallagher as being agitated, stumbling and even approaching the injured Parker and slapping him while he was on the ground.

Hazlett said she had to push him away from the injured man, who was described as being so intoxicated he couldn't feel any pain.

The party claimed Parker only drank five to eight stubbies of beers, but later she was told he had consumed bourbon."

"She recalled members of the party saying they should stick to the story."

"Police were of the opinion they were not given the full story,"

"Hore displayed a "total disregard" to the Arms Act, consuming alcohol, supplying a firearm to an unlicensed person, and failure to meet regulations around security, Jensen said.

"It is my opinion that Hore cannot be trusted to use firearms reasonably and that his decision making in respect of supplying an unlicensed person, alcohol consumption while in possession and control of firearms, breach of security and other behaviours from the 2005 firearms incidents indicate that he cannot be trusted to use firearms reasonably and does not meet the good character test."

....Judge Michael Crosbie reserved his decision. He has to think about it?! For the record, this is second trip before the courts for being a dickbag while in possession of a firearm

I am a believer that people can and do change.

However

There is no evidence that he has changed and the license should not be reinstated anytime soon.

$2500 fine for seal shooters - National - NZ Herald News

From sentencing re the seal incident in front of 45 tourists:

"Campbell Savage, appearing for Hore, said his client needed no deterrent sentence.

"There is simply no way he will ever do it again."

He agreed with Mrs Stevens that the publicity had acted as a strong deterrent."

"During the group's return to land about 4pm, the boat went within 15-30m of the shore and the three defendants started shooting at rabbits on the cliff, said Mr Kessick.

They then saw seals on the beach and cliff and started shooting at them, sending the mammals fleeing for the water.

A member of a 45-strong tourist group viewing wildlife on a nearby beach caught the incident on video. At least 15 shots could be heard on the video."

Yep I remember that one.

No. And every other person that thinks of opening weekend as an opportunity to get boozed and shoot guns all need their bloody heads banged together too. It is absolutely rampant within the shooting community, I can guarantee there are members on here that have this twisted way of thinking and it is one of the reasons that duckshooting does absolutely nothing for me.

No he shouldn't ever get his FAL back.

He's an ex AB and therefore still subject to the rules of the elite! It may stop him being able to enjoy the odd sponsored pheasant drive, or stag hunt? Hahahaha
I believe he should never get his licence back!

I couldn't give a fat cats arse if he was a reserve for the Eketahuna Tiddly Wink pairs team. He is a fucking pillock that has no right being anywhere near a firearm. That is me agreeing with you Maca.

Ok ok keep taking the pills!

Anyone that acts like that with alcohol and firearms deserves the full measure of the law, No FAL and potentially prosecution if applicable. I couldn't care less who ou are, the laws are common to us all.
It some ways it shows a lack of regard to your mates being prepared to get that pissed and fool around with lethal weapons with them near.

What a twit. I am sure the judge will say something about not ruining his career. FAAAA he should be prohibited from touching a firearm ever again.

Silly question but what was the impact statement from the victim?





"Don't slap me again"! it's like he said stick to the story

Hore is a godamn caveman, would like to see him locked up for being a fuckwit!

Never understood why any All Black, current or ex, is regarded as special, or "the man", I reserve my respect for nurses, ambo staff, fireies people that actually do humanity a favour.

Doesn't really matter unfortunately, as even if he doesn't get his FAL back, there will always be a so called `mate` willing to take him out under supervision

Your blue cod is looking secondhand?
