Thread: This is getting ridiculous....

About a year ago I moved, and notified the police of this, I then applied for my E cat endorsement and had the hard copy of the new endorsed license arrive about two months later. It wasn't til after that that a police officer came around to check my security at my "new" address, I asked her why the chap who checked my E cat safe couldn't just tick a box on a different form to say that I lived where I lived and that he'd checked the security anyway. She didn't know, and as it turned out, the police didn't budget to pay the arms officers/helpers/whatever to check peoples security upon a change of address, only when issuing and renewing licenses, so it had to be a police officer to check, and this poor woman (who turned out to be a cop from Middlemarch) had to drive all the way to Dunedin to spend 5 minutes looking at a safe that had been checked a few weeks beforehand. I don't envy the AO's though, the system may be broken but they sure as hell seem over-worked and under-staffed, and they have to put up with all us gun nuts =). I can just imagine the local arms officer's reaction when my buddy put through the paperwork for the MG53 (Yugo MG42) he just got: "You want to import a belt-fed what from Eastern where?!"
