Thread: 1 Licensed Hunter, Two Rifles?

Ok, ive been here before and ask the questions from the police along time ago and heres some answers that make it reasonable clear.
Firstly, esp in hunting situations only one rifle is to be used between the supervisior and the unlicenced person.
You just open up a whole lot of cans of worms if there are two rifles between people and to prove the supervisior was close enough and in control of the unlicenced shooter is difficult if you both have a firearm. (esp if a accident happened)

So, yes, only one rifle between parties .
Now, if you think thats not Black and white the following is!


To get a DOC hunting permit to hunt on public conservation land with a firearm, you need either:

a valid New Zealand firearms licence, or
to be under the immediate supervision of someone with a valid New Zealand firearms licence. See Section 4b of the Arms Code (external site).
When hunting under the immediate supervision provision:

only one firearm is permitted between the supervisor and the hunter
each person requires a hunting permit.


So clearly to hunt DOC land only one firearm is permitted. And i can tell you this goes with private land hunting as well as the police see it and it makes sence.

So, Hunting DOC land its a NO, black and white, ONLY ONE RIFLE.
If you willing to think its not Black and White on private land you take the risk but if i was the licenced holder no way would there be a extra rifle.
