After Aramoana he was the media's darling "Firearm expert Philip Alpers said..."

It was a good day when he left us and moved to Australia.

From memory this incident was reported on by SSANZ. He turned up to a small bore club trying to appear that he was a shooter and everybody's friend. He had two negligent discharges into the floor of the indoor range with a top of the line Anschutz and tried to blame the rifle. I do believe he also had some interaction with either the Police or the courts regarding him failing to notify police of his change of address pertaining to his firearms licence.
