I f you know, please elucidate.

The loop hole was that someone could use someone else's firearms licence number,and impersonate a police constable to make a fraudulent document to obtain a firearm through online/mail order sales.
Meanwhile crims continue to steal or get their scumbag uncaught ( yet) mates to supply them with weapons.

Moral of the story is to get a well connected journalist/political party PR sugar daddy twice your age and break the law to self promote yourself.
Wonder if the #@%^ will show TVland how to make meth for her next story?

Steve,
You're forgetting that the first thing GC in Auckland did was phone the AO & checked the cosherness of the licence holder's details. All OK. And, the police checked over 2000 previously received mail order forms & found NO evidence of forgeries or fraudulence.ALL spot on. i.e. NO loophole!!

The only hiccup that I have become aware of is the fact that not all arms offices in NZ actually authenticated the Police Officer's details on the bottom of the form with the Official " Arms Office" rubber stamp. There is NO way for any firearm dealer or firearm seller to know whether or not that info is genuine????
You'd have to be a bit bloody stupid to risk 7 years in the slammer to even think of forging the police info,eh????

Good old Heather & team had no problems tho' AND got away with it ( SO FAR!!!! )

Exactly. The only loop hole she found was fraud. Impersonating police and using someone else's licence number.
No loophole just fraud.
incidentally sugar daddy is now doing PR for Dear Leader in the Herald.
