I have spoken with a mate who said that living with other people none of whom have a FAL and he said it was not an issue, so fingers crossed, ill be gutted if I get denied because I live with other people.

On a side note, how long did it take for the vetting officer to do his thing and come to give the ok for security and interview your references?

I don't know of any tabled Arms Amendment Bill. Richard Prosser from NZ First mentioned about his parties desire to increase the storage requirements. NZ Police may attempt to introduce a new policy, but like many of their previous policies it won't be supported by the law.

Living with others isn't an issue, as long as they don't have criminal convictions or mental health issues. Even then, it doesn't rule you out. Case by case.

Took 4 days for the vetting officer to come around and another 1 week for another to interview my reference.
