Yes, it's all official and supported by the local cop. Young fella down the road did it last year - one day theory, one day hands-on with various pistols/rifles/shotguns etc, then finishes with sitting the license test.

i just renewed my licence that process was long enough. the vetting officer said gisborne could end up having to go to hawkesbay to do a firearms course in the furture. only going to end up with more unlicence firearm holders

This sounds brilliant - one thing that struck me as odd when I got my FAL was that appart from going out shooting with a mate a couple of times, I had minimal hands on experiance with firearms (just alot of theory) yet could now just go shopping. Looking back at it I personally would have appreciated a day of handling various firearms, actions, safeties etc.
