Thread: TV3 & Guncity mistake

Lets hope that all that happens is that the Police now send it/ a scanned copy to the seller.
Oh and TV3 gets their arse holes majorly reamed!

All those things mentioned will need a change in the arms act, that isn't goin to happen overnight. The only thing that needs to change is how the seller can ensure that it was an actual police officer that signed the form.

With all the reporting about crims having easy access to fire-arms and the current crop of fucktards not identifying their targets I'm detecting a fair amount of anti-gun hysteria getting worked up by the media. Simple fact is some dirt bag forged/impersonated an arms officer. and should be prosecuted.
I buy firearms in person mainly because I don't trust courier drivers not to screw things up but also because its way less hassle than getting the form signed etc. You can also see the sellers not dodgy as well.

If that happens you can expect it to take 2/3 months :/

And wouldn't the retail outlets love it if you couldn't sell on Tard Me or on line like here.

isnt it far worse for someone to knowingly commit an offence,reporters/ratings or not, rather than a "possible" mistake on the shops part.....

So is the form not legit if it doesn't have a police stamp? How easy would it be for a dedicated individual to forge a stamp or at least smudge something to resemble a police stamp? It appears to me that they have impersonated a police officer to fill the form in. Is this not a serious crime in itself? The police need to throw the book at these morons. Their careers need to be over. Police need to show the country that they don't stand for this kind of fuckery.

The police release said possessing a firearm without a legal licence was a criminal offence and if successfully prosecuted could lead to three months in prison or a $1000 fine. The charge for "obtaining by deception" carried penalties up to seven years in prison, the police statement said.

yeh it isnt the process itself thats at fault(other than the retarted ratings seeking reporters), what is at fault is someones inadherance to process. if they charge the gunshop, the other end should be similarly charged .

Like I said, the stamp in not required.

Gun City have not broken the law, they're required to have the form filled out and sent to them completed, the form was sent to them completed and nothing shines out that it could be fake. No law broken on their end.

@ Stug - So if we can't rely on the fact that if it says it was signed by a police officer it was, then about half of the "legal transactions" in the country will break down - just about every system has an element of trust involved, this is no different from any other bit of paper where you have your "status" confirmed by a lawyer or JP or the like.

No real harm done at gun city's end (for once). But my statement stands - they impersonated a police officer. If I did that and got caught, I'd expect to end up in front of a judge.

The police rego check in their website gives absolutely no information of the address or phone numbers or etc, it either tells you that rego is either stolen or not, an adaptation of this with the FLIC number could potentially tell you VAILD or INVAILD, in essence it can also be run by the police porting the information of the licence status the same way they do regos.

unfortunately that was done by GC and by luck the number met the criteria. People could use this to find legit numbers.

And they deliver this to me too.... Guess what was in it.....



Well packed, what with it being wrapped in a towel and brown tape.......
