For sure, being well known to the Wellington firearms police team probably helped a little, eg speeding up the veters visit by a few days as he added it onto the end of a very long day.
But I offer it as an example that the people in the police system are doing the best they can within there very under resourced system.
Also to show that even if you don't have the plastic that the system normally shows you as having a licence the day after the vetter turns the paperwork in(this may increase if your not in Wellington) so you can still do gun stuff-just ring/email your AO to check
