    So let me get this straight. The forum is less than one week away and no info on where it's being held?? Geez that makes sense. What also makes alot of sense to me is to post the date and time before the location has been advised.

    I'm starting to agree with this deliberate thing, especially when you analyze the times chosen per district.

    Questions such as;

    Whilst I applaud the principle of public consultation being applied here, I would appreciate some explanation regarding the process;re the timing of these consultations, and notifications of the specific locations?

    I can tell you the Wellington session is a farce, holding it in Upper Hutt in the middle of the day is just ridiculous. A good portion of the population heads into the city for work via public transport which gives them no chance of attending. But if it was to be held in central Wellington, we could get a decent turn out.

    I don't mean to be cynical but every one in Auckland needs to go down to the back end of Papakura. Could they not have found a more central venue?

    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire

    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Anyone got any suggestions on what to say. I can make the Manukau one after work. But no clue what to say.

    Manukau - Tuesday 12 June - 4.30pm to 6pm Papakura Rugby Club, 2 Ron Keat Drive Papakura ! So not even really Manukau, Papakura.

    Good questions @muzza
    @Russian 22. the question "what is wrong wit the current way things are done" is right on. The other question is "what is the point of this 1/2 ass consultation and what changes are you planning to make after it" and "can we quote you in parliament on that"

    It would be good to record it on your phone.

    "Manukau" as in the entire area covered by the Counties-Manukau Police District. http://www.police.govt.nz/about-us/s...unties-manukau

    The cynic in me says this whole charade is a farcical nonsense.

    Totally agree. I’m not one for public meetings of any sort. But I dislike the hysteria surrounding guns and their lawful use, whilst appearing to ignore their unlawful possession and use by the criminal sorts.

    To me it sounds more like your AO was describing the Police Association's President.

    +1 On recording the meetings.

    Similar to the map stretch posted about Auckland district, the Welly police district includes Wairarapa up to Masterton and beyond Martinborough, so Upper Hutt is centrally located if you look at it from a geographical perspective.

    Heading to the meeting in a bit and will see how it turns out

    If you read the purpose of the meetings it is to discuss how to interact and deliver services to the firearms community. So a pretty narrow scope they are wanting to deal with. This is not about the actual laws, rules, etc.
    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!

    Back from the Welly meeting. Around 20 shooting folk turned up, ranging from dealers, organizations such as service rifle, colfo, airsoft, pistol clubs, and individual license/endorsement holders.

    Purpose of the meetings are two-fold:

    1) to have meetings with local firearms staff, hence the timing/locations that may not make sense to some (they met with the Wellingtion, Hutt, Wairarapa etc staff this morning)
    2) engaging with fire-arms community

    Basically facilitated session where they are asking what is working, and what the pain points are...
