    Is there a section on here where it outlines the requirements for all types of licence? If not can someone please post them I'd appreciate it.

    Cheers Antz

    when going for the B I'd suggest C and E at the same time.
    that way you're doing the administration once. It's a single application fee rather than three separate payments of $200.
    -if life gets in the way you can give up your endorsement, sell your pistols to a mate who then sells them back to you on C.
    then when you're ready you can get back in to it without having to start from scratch.
    Arms officers in some areas aren't too keen to swap any firearms between endorsements for the same person, that's an option to get around it.

    Also with the other endorsements means you can partake in multigun or 3 gun shoots, otherwise buy a second pistol and use a carbine stock in the same calibre.

    Damn right, get your C and E at the same time as your B, all one fee

    The other advantage of C-cat is you can buy a pistol at an auction with your C license then uplift it and transfer it over to your B at your convenience - ya just can't shoot it until it is on your B license

    If the powers that be are going to feed us this alphabet soup bullshit we might as well game it to our advantage - after all have y'all seen how little corporate tax gets paid by the likes of Apple in NZ? We're just little fish compared to that sort of a rule dodge

    Isn't there supposed to be a cap on the number on C endorsements too? If there is, all the more reason to get in while you can. Shoulda done it when I got my E

    I dont see how they can put a cap on a right as a fit and proper person.

    Pistol NZ has the restriction of a maximum of 12 Pistol endorsements on the licence at one time. It's in the memorandum of understanding and not in law.
    basically it's a self imposed restriction as far as I'm aware. One of those carrots on the stick that apparently keeps pol HQ happy.
    Unfortunately that includes any club guns that may be under the responsibility of a club armourer.

    there's no restriction on the amount of C endorsed items. I know of a few people with over a few hundred items.
    One doesn't even have a safe. He turned his workshop in to a strongroom so everything just sits in racks lining the walls.

    Like you said the 12 limit isn't law and can be worked around at the discretion of the AO, I know more than one armorer who does not have an issue with this at all.

    I was slightly pissed off I had to sell my Open Racegun built for me and custom serial numbered but I managed to use the proceeds to buy a 725 shotty brand new 2 New Jiggin rods and my membership to a private sporting clays club so did OK in the end
    I completely understand, I'm not saying I agree with it, but I'm reminding you that it IS the law.

    Interesting that you think that anyone excited to participate in a sport is someone you'd prefer to be far away from, you sound like a grumpy old man now, no wonder you stopped.

    This may be true, however there are a growing number of Pistol Clubs that are not affiliated to PNZ.

    I belong to two of these non affiliated clubs here in Hawkes Bay.

    There is no restriction on the number of B endorsed items for members of these clubs that I know of.

    Cheers

    I meant there that I understood there was a cap on the number of people with C endorsement

    As C is the collector category, it makes sense to have no cap on the number per person, as that's what collectors do

    I've never read in any NZ Firearms Legislation or Regulation nor heard of a cap on the number of people that can hold an endorsement.

    It's every citizens right to hold and endorsement if they choose to do so and are deemed to be a "Fit an Proper Person".

    Yes that seems ludicrous, Ie I win lotto and want to collect firearms and I have to wait for another collector to die before I can be a collector?!

    I think we all know what the end result of that would be.

    Oh, yes totally, I thought it was nuts at the time. Sillier shit has been foisted upon us before though. Can't remember where I saw that, but I remember that 3000 was the number for some reason. Maybe there's hope for us yet
