Very Pi$$ed off-- Renewal not through

[Sim G]

Last thing I'm doing at the moment Adam, is putting in my ticket for anything at the minute. Firearms dept is taking 22 weeks to do anything and I'm waiting for a little .25-20 to become available.

Did you acquire the said rifle, sir?

[dromia]

I do have said rifle.

If you wanted it you could have it for what I paid for it.

How about the shooting organisations campaign for the abolition of FAC's? Issue instead a card akin to the driving licence photo card which entitles you to the class of fireams you possess, listed on the reverse like the category of vehicles?

Licence the individual, not the guns. The police could still hold a list of the guns you possess and you could still be obliged to inform them when you sell or buy. Simpler for everyone not having to constantly get FAC's varied. How many fantastic impulse buys have you missed out on because of bloody FACs?

I'm still really pi$$ed about missing that .308 target Rubin on here......!!

...as per the New Zealand firearm permit

Lasts 5 years, you show it to buy guns and ammo within the category allowed on your licence.

That is what the Firearms Consultative Committee recommended before it was disbanded. Can't find the exact wording, but it was there.
