    Was told by one AO I only need a safe if I have my guns there, but from some Arms lady said I need a safe at both regardless.

    Ha, hardly. I live and work in Auckland, but have a hard time accepting the fact, so I always go home to the Waikato as often as I can, and still put all my addresses down there as it's easier due to my potentially unstable living situations in Auckland. Really hoping to find a place in the Waikato where I can commute to Auckland, and not have to live there!

    Te Kauwhata is handy
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Sort of looking between there and Tahuna, somewhere along Tahuna Ohinewai Rd would be perfect for my situation. Too bad it's not a huge market for renting or buying, not that one would expect it there!

    Remember there are other laws that cover firearms to a degree, such as the Arms Regulations 1992 and the Search and Surveillance Act 2012, then there is case law. Reading the Arms Act is a good start.

    Surely a common sense approach answers your question, as it does with most legal questions. Firstly, the vetting process when applying for a FAL must verify you have a compliant gunsafe at your residence (the legal address you live and have mail sent to (Waikato))...box tick. Secondly, do you, or will you ever possess or store any firearms at your Auckland address? No? Then it's irrelevant and perfectly arguable in court (if any AO's boss ever let it get to that point, which is HIGHLY unlikely). However, get caught with, or report a firearm being stolen at or from your Auckland address, fool you I guess

    Well had the Arms officer over to my address in Auckland to interview me about a friend applying for his gun licence.
    Turn's out that since they have tightened up all the rules recently you do have to have a safe storage place at any address you live at.

    The AO was very reasonable though and helpful. I ended up just screwing a eye end bolt into the wall in a cupboard, which I then have a padlock in.
    This was considered sufficient, so I was happy as it cost me $2 to do it. To bad I'm never going to use it.

    The words common sense and legal should never be used in the same sentence.
    Wirehunt and shooternz like this.
    "Hunting and fishing" fucking over licenced firearms owners since ages ago.
