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

A pistol safe is around $300, bolting it down is 20 minutes work, and the interview is the exact same routine 10 minute interview everyone has been through before (probably multiple times).

Hardly any more drama than renewing your firearms license.

My safe was $100, bolting it, and my pistol ammo safe to wall and floor considerably more than 20 minutes, the interview considerably longer than ten.
To be fair, I'd suffered a bereavement not long before, so the AO was probably just being careful in making his assessment.

To add to that: Was it worth it? yes. I have learned a great deal from pistol shooting. I'm glad I did it.
