    Gibo, As I have predicted ( I may be wrong) that if the cops are politically nudged NOT to prosecute these shite heads
    you can be assured that a private prosecution is sitting in the wings waiting to go. At least the cops are providing more & more names to add to the charge sheets!!!!

    It's even uncommon in Auckland, it's just a gossip tabloid these days.

    Hi Res,
    I agree that the herald is just another tabloid & is full of recycled crap but it is the best of a bad choice around here & sometimes they have something worth reading. It costs me $6 a week to have it delivered, so it's cheaper than the local "culturally correct" rag!!!
    The clip that you sent on the forum was definitely from the paper of thursday 3rd Dec page A15. But the article that thickened the plot was yesterdays ( 9th Dec ) Page A10. It is well worth a read because it names all sorts of interesting names.
    I'll be surprised if the forces of eve
    il have managed to suppress the herald's online version.

    Sorry I'm computer illiterate & can't even cut & paste!!!!

    If all else fails let me know & I'll mail you a copy of the cutting.

    Beers to all. ( except TV3!!!)

    Wow. Good on them for being sure but I bet that was the result of the HDPA shenanigans and it seems to me that the rim lays another charge for the needless misdirection od Police resources. I would have thought that they would have had enough to do at this time of year without that sort of distraction.

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Your wife's cell phone number was probably on the vetting application file from when you were last interviewed. Your cell number may have changed since then so they used your wife's number to contact you.

    Interesting,
    I did the mail order thing for a new rifle today for the first time since the changes, sure the form is different, email both ends required etc but certainly no hassle
    Funnily enough I expected the police to quibble about the PO box address I provided on the form for the seller but not a word mentioned.
    Guess they can check by the persons Firearms licence anyways.

    What surprised me is I live in a town or 15 thousand and a district of 20 thousand + and they still sent the form to the Dunedin police for emailing to the supplier.

    I know this because the Dunedin AO rang me this arvo, ostensibly to check my email address, she was very polite and it all went without a hitch.

    TV3 & Guncity mistake

    Recently done the same thing. Form gets emailed from station to AO, who then checks details and emails to seller. In my case last week, they wouldn't let me use my work address as a delivery even though everyone at my workplace holds a valid firearms license and someone's there all the time to sign for it--we all hunt together. And I was then told I couldn't have it sent to my home address cos the wife doesn't have a firearms license. So the AO informed me that I had to organise shipping depot to depot. That's an unnecessary pain in the arse if you ask me.
