Thread: Sending rifles through hunting and fishing

Alan Millers H&F requires a police form. Not unreasonable in my view.

I do agree BUT In saying that, doesn't it seem odd that you presenting your firearms license to buy one of their firearms is sufficient and obviously the person at the other end must have one to obtain it, yet you have to fill out the police form?
you need a police form for mailing ammo yet I'm sure if you went to an H+F store and they didn't have your applicable .339 wonderbee cartridge there but it was at one of the other stores, what's the difference them getting it from them, or the same for a rifle that isn't in stock. What's the difference? They have the power to inspect your license is valid and matches you for retail purposes but not for mailing?

Agree, it really does defy common sense and logic .

I couldn't agree any more with this statement. Up until a Couple of days ago I thought this made complete sense
