Yeah, it's classic. The eejits who draft the Act stuff everyone up by trying to be too fancy with their wording, which gives wiggle room in both directions. When they say "Supply" they should have said "Sell" and when they say "Procure" they should have said "Buy". And if the "Permit To Procure" was instead a "Permit To Possess", there would be much less need for some of these arguments. What's ended up happening, with these constant NSA-type challenges though, is that people in a position of influence like Joe Green get the hump and start being even less accommodating towards shooters applications because they take the challenges as an insult... I don't disagree with the intent of the NSA in as much as they are trying to keep the Police honest and consistent in their interpretation of the relevant sections of the Act. Just not entirely sure their approach is best.
Interesting to see that the judge pretty much confirmed what I suspected, MSSA registration exists.
