Definitely doesn't count. Didn't even get to 1 with the number of Glocks he had to remember to take with him. ;)

I don't think their is any requirement to be apolitical, plenty of charities get involved in political lobbying etc. However what does tend to happen is that if the charities registration board doesn't like the views or opinions of a charity they just say it doesn't have a legitimate 'charitable purpose' and revoke its status, which the charity has to go to the high court to challenge (which costs a lot of money).
Indeed. My comment about remaining apolitical was to avoid a can of worms. From the Charities Commission website:
POLITICAL ACTIVITIES
Many not-for-profit organisations try to influence change by raising awareness of a societal issue or trying to change local or national laws. There is no general prohibition on political advocacy being a charitable purpose, but in a recent ruling the Supreme Court noted that it may be uncommon for political purposes to be charitable purposes. The Court noted that the advancement of causes will often be non-charitable as it is not possible to say whether the views promoted, and the means by which they are promoted, are of benefit in a way that the law regards as charitable.
In assessing whether a political or advocacy purpose is a charitable purpose, Charities Services must assess the intended result of the view that is being advocated, the means of achieving that result, and the manner in which the result is achieved.
Even where a political purpose is not charitable, it may not be a barrier to registration, as long as it is merely ancillary to an established charitable purpose. You can find more information on the Advocacy for causes page.
Plenty of examples there for what does and doesn't pass the 'charitable' test.

You're dreaming. Never happen.
Robberies from cars are the fourth most common crime in New Zealand according to the NZ Herald. Almost 82500 reported from July 2014 to the end of 2016 alone.

There's no way any government is going to change the regulations ('cos that's what it will take) to let people leave guns unattended in cars when so many cars get robbed. No matter what security is in place.
That NZ Herald article is missing other key stats - How many home's were robbed? Because the way I see it is if home and car break-ins are similar in numbers, then it would make sense to increase security storage for firearms in a vehicle.
Considering we leave firearms at our homes unattended.
that's why a lever or a semi is good. [emoji106]
Doubt many people forget those bolts haha.

What if you only own a motorcycle or a work car? Hard to get a lock box for those

Coming back to you a bit late on this, but I remembered this thread and returned to it.
Someone correct me, but leaving a spring compressed does not weaken it. Repeatedly compressing and releasing it does - a tiny bit. Just like you do no harm to a bolt action rifle leaving it closed with firing pin spring compressed.
Compressing a spring to beyond its elastic limit really weakens it. By that measure, forcing one extra round into your full mag will achieve a bit of your stated aim of making the spring easier on your fingers. I'd personally just take some emery board to those sharp mag lips.
Also back to the original op.

Harden the fingers up a bit so loading those mags comes easygoing.
I use Mag Lulas for loading and I reckon they are a bloody good bit of kit
I got them here but you could get them cheaper from Brownells
