Thread: Is buying 69 firearms from GunCity in 18 months signs of an addiction ?

Bloody meth morons.

There is no requirement for fire arms retailers to monitor sales, only sight the buyer's fire arms licence and if satisfied, record the details in their register.

I am puzzled however, as to why you say, "and visiting the AO every month.." as that is not necessary when buying a A cats as this chap was. (Might be for other cats , but I plead ignorance there :>)

He was also buying from the Chch store, so would have needed AO to complete postal mail/order purchase form.

Unless his "business " took him there on occasion of course and he purchased over the counter ?? Probably claimed the fares and accommodation as a business expense.

I reckon what he has done any one could do probably travel length of NZ once with a trailer and buy hundreds no questions asked .. There's not really an answer is there ?

Ahh..........thanks, I had overlooked the mention of the Christchurch store. However, I have purchased product from the ChCh store not listed at Auckland and they have delivered to their Auckland store where I have turned up, flashed the FAL and collected the goodies without any need to call upon Constable Plod."

I imagine that this particular "boot scraping" would not ever want to be anywhere near a FAO.

Oh............um was that issue with the Auckland store being robbed under strange circumstances ever clarified and the circumstances made public for us poor punters to see?

Only if he as buying via mail order, then the required signed form, signed by either local Police or AO, depending on where he lived.

All my purchases have been written into the shops' register book. But 3 guns a month for a year and a half
