As Timtalon said earlier, I don't think that we are getting all of the information presented cleanly and as anyone who has been near a Stuff article knows, they don't report accurately a lot of the time

What does seem clear is that the cop gave him a warning and he failed to respond

No matter how strongly one feels about the issue, sometimes ya need to use ya head

The initial letter would have bullet pointed reasons they have to revoke his licence, for some reason he hasn't put that up.

I see that he gave his firearms to another FAL holder stating that they once belonged to his farther.
Can't see anything wrong with that in general. There still under lock and key and he would not have direct access to them.
Yes I'd take his FAL license away if these allegations are true. (His firearms can then be past to another family member with the correct FAL so that the family heirlooms are not destroyed).
But I would also do similar to what he has done if I was getting divorced or had any altercation where I thought my FAL would be in jeopardy. From what has been printed in the press the police seem to have this right. Which is good, but why do (separate issue) do gang members and associates still have FAL? You just need to have them drive past to feel threatened.
I do hope that this is not a witch hunt! With the powers that be trying to shut up our right to protest! That would be JUST as alarming as what this chap has allegedly done.

What allegations?

Exactly what is happening.

What has he allegedly done?

I dont know the man...I dont follow anti 1080 protesting.
From that "news" report and a link of the revocation of his licence video shared to me by a member I believe the man is being harrased and victimised as other protesters have been by our govt and police.

I and many of you other forum members may not agree with this mans protest but surely we must all agree harassment for legally protesting something you believe strongly in is oppression plain and simple.

Anyone remember Apartheid ?

Freedom of speech and peaceful protest must be upheld without retribution by "the man" or we will end up with a dictatorship.

This isn't about freedom of speech. Its about "fit and proper". That's the acid test isn't it?

I agree but yet there still no evidence to show he is not fit and proper.

They do not have to show joe public any evidence. That is for the courts and those directly involved. I suspect if we saw the actual letter, we would all be saying something quite different from the sound of it

Exactly right.

Imagine just for a moment, if yet another forum member's gun licence was under consideration to be revoked by the local chief of police.

Would he want the cops telling everyone it was because of what allegedly happened between him and his ex-wife and what he said and did when he was found out, or would he want it kept private?

So long as they’re not using the ‘fit and proper’ justification as a reason why to harass someone who is clearly going against the whims of reigning authority. If he has threatened/ made threats to harm/kill, so be it.

As has being pointed out in earlier posts, no one really knows except the person concerned.

@tiroatedson

Impossible for only one person to "really know" if someone was ACTUALLY threatening someone else. Which of course he wasn't.

This thread is going to run and run

If the cops took it without reason then a lawyer can sort it out easily enough so my logic is that if he doesn't get it back in say 6 months then he's either too stubborn to engage said lawyer or he really did make threatening comments and is not a fit and proper person

If anyone close to the case knows more I'd like to hear it
