I live overseas but come to NZ once every year and a bit. I have a valid firearms licence and the place I stay when back no one does.
I informed the police that I store firearms at 2 locations. I borrow friends rifles while I'm back and when I leave they go back to the friend. The police seemed to be able to add that to their system. Wasn't much of a hassle, the lady that came around to inspect the safe (renewed my licence) wrote down a note saying that no firearms would be stored at one location (where I stay while in NZ) when I am not in the country. No one has checked to see if I stand by my statement but they were understanding of the situation and seemed to acknowledge the annoyance of travelling to pick up a firearm every time I would want to use it.
Give it a bash, all of the arms officers or inspectors I've met have been very pleasant.
