Thread: Buy a Pistol in New Zealand or bring one in?

Hi, Have a bunch of pistols in Switzerland and want to shoot in New Zealand too.

Is it easy to buy a pistol from a dealer/private in New Zealand?

I am a New Zealander, no firearms license yet for NZ. Will apply when I get home. Swiss law states I do need a license or registration for the firearm.

I assume that you need to register it on arrival in NZ, or apply for a firearms license and get a weapons safe in NZ then import it?

Are there different types of license for pistols and rifles?

Lots of questions... Thanks!
