Thread: Useing the firearms register

What was mentioned to me (by the operator that got themselves into a fuss) was that if duplicate entries are entered into the system, they would work out which one was correct and delete one, or something like that I think. But it was hard to tell with that particular operator as they were in a bit of a tizz, and had the phone manner of a 9 year old with stage fright performing in the school play. I ended up hanging up on them and calling the registration line.
