    Oh dear.
    I had heard there is history but wouldn't dare too speculate.
    No deer hunting for him. (I just had to spell 'deer' 3 different ways in one post).

    Such a shame - I would have loved the opportunity to have opened such I franchise the likes of a H&F outlet - we should not judge as there is no proof of foul play as yet - but if there is - silly boy and has blown a golden opportunity !!

    You'd have to wonder how much trade they were going to get once the bypass goes past Otaki though- all those businesses are going to take a hit.

    And he's not the only H&F store owner to have had his fire arms licence revoked either.

    This doesnt not look good for all concerned at all. I hope if offenses have been committed then wet bus tickets are not whipped out BUT I also hope that our Stirling boys in Blue have not gone off all 1/2 cocked again and essentially ruined someones business just because.


    As an aside, many years ago Otaki Hunting and fishing were the only ones who were happy to send me a brand new Beretta U/O to try (ie actually shoot it on clay's or in the field) on the condition "that if it came back with any marks on the stock I owned it" and their pricing was better than anywhere else and we were npt talking about a cheap one either. Never had another Gunstore offer to do that before or since

    All those with dogs waiting no longer fear death. Those with many dogs waiting even welcome it in it's time.

    Sad but unfortunately true, ironically Charlie has been charged with selling Charlie (cocaine).

    Yes but I would guess that the manager there has his own dealers license.
