    Haven't seen anyone talk about this here yet, might have missed it, but now the police officer before they sign your form look your name up in their system to assure you're still fit to hold a FAL.
    As if I had somehow not had my licence taken off me after being convicted of a crime where I should have lost it, I'd go and try get a mail order form? That'll catch lots of people out, not.
    Then after this cops check the officer told me he now sends it to the firearms head office for more checks.

    They really went a mile with this without any legislation change didn't they?
    Just tell bullshit, what rifle, I fire .22 thru my 12 gauge

    Top gun you will learn by the elapse of time that I am the forum's premier piss taker. No subject is sacred (although I steer away from techno and dog discussions) and no one is immune and for fucks sake don't believe more than half of anything I ever say. I have never been known to drink (guzzle, yes, but drink, no). Grew up sitting on a crate of Waikato quart bottles just over the hill from your town in Tokoroa. Quite partial to the odd drop still.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    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

    Damn it Rushy! Now you're making the stuff sound like it has something to do with the long drop.

    No, I assumed that was for purchase of an air gun and proving your age. I left it blank and the cop said nothing.
    If he asked for it I would have said I don't have one, jumped in my car and left.

    Be interesting if they come back to me asking about me writing CZ75 for my 9mm ammo when I am still waiting for my B,E,C interviews.

    Now that I think about it I should have tried my luck and left them blank.

    I'd tell them through my gun....
    If they then ask what gun I would say the one I use with this ammo..
    If they still ask I'd then ask them to show me the legislation that states where I need to name this firearm.
    If they can then point that out I'd then tell em..

    Pretty much, go order some rounds and tell me how that goes.

    On second thought in the legislation it says the POL whatever form needs to be filled out. They've just changed the form....

    It should have?? & if it didn't then it should have raised alarm bells. I'll try to find out from my sources.
