Went to the Show today, was ok. Typical shit ticket system went to buy online last night & that cut that off on Thursday, so had to que for 10 plus minutes even going late after 10:30 also getting quite expensive if you're a lone soldier $25 for one day or $30 for two, 2 day Family passers were far more reasonable @ $40 for Mum, Dad & two sprogs, even dearer to put a head in.
A few outfits missing but a couple of new ones, reasonable crowd & was good to catch up people including a few forum members
Yep good to meet Bobba and Mrs Bobba for lunch with Woody and friends, met a few other known, bought stuff all. Talked to heaps of like minded on the state of the nation. Shot the National MP between the eyes, but good on him for attending, ACT was there, talked with COFLO guys and Andrew from Antique Arms and others including the boys from DPT, plenty of cunstables walking around, started at 9am got back to Kinloch at 5pm
Enjoyable day
Be a no go this year. Boy had a shoot today and I’ve a tangi to go to tomorrow.

Set this up with the team, some new publications on offer this year with a great new book on Jack Luttrell. I also put two n two together and met ChrisW at the coffee cart. Nice guy with great taste in firearms. (M10) He’s got the same last name so hardly a surprise really. :thumbsup:
Today Sunday. $100 to COLFO, told National Party they folded quicker than a Wallaby prop. They had their chance, and are now politicking for votes.
Quick hello to ACT.
Picked up old mates 10 ptr.

The salesman reckoned they had been really reliable but admitted he didn't handle the warranty stuff. He said that people had found the Key display a bit low definition.
Yes exactly, I had a good chat to a couple of Nat MP & I also commented that it's good to see that they are finally pulling finger, but yes they would of be ripped apart by the pubic & media if they had gone against the first semi banQuote:

Agree about the machine guns. It wasn't a very good look on TV and it made me cringe. There is no chance of normalising that sort of weapon for the general public and it just appeared as attempting to "cock a snoop". Not that smart in my book really.Quote:

Did you see that bloke at the start having a look at that rifle? Pretty handsome looking fella and those hands looked so supple...
Saw another forum member making a faceless appearance in there also :)
The guy that looked about 30 and in peak physical condition?Quote:

I absolutely do not agree. Whilst the National Party did need to support a review of firearms legislation to be seen as empathetic toward what occurred on 15th March, it should have brought a moderating influence to the hysteria created by the CoL and vocally opposed the undemocratic process that saw poorly written legislation enacted. There was zero threat to the Christchurch and wider New Zealand community the very minute that the Police arrested Brenton Tarrant and there was no need for urgency and definitely no need to abandon democratic process. The actions of all parties that voted in favour of the so called first tranche legislation has done nothing whatsoever to make any New Zealand citizen safer.Quote:

The Nats failed miserably, seeking hysterical populist media vote broking instead.
I told Nats exactly that at Sika show.
We really must support COLFO hard and all object via submitting a BIG NO to the second tranche bill.
ANY further restrictions placed upon New Zeanders as a result of Tarrants ATTACK UPON NEW ZEALAND and OUR CITIZENS becomes a further win for Tarrant and his extremist terrorist mates upon NEW ZEALANDERS. US!
I fail to accept that our parliament would find it acceptable to actually EFFECTIVELY EXTEND Tarrants attack sucess (in his aims and views) by removing ANY of our hard won rights and freedoms and hurting us.
Parliament needs its ruddy collective heads read.
WHY is parliament giving a terrorist MORE WINS? And to New Zealnders cost?
Told ya @Bobba!! :cool:
