Received this over night from Antique Arms. Andrew is the NZAHAA Rep on COLFO.
"Hi All
There has been a fair ammount of discussion and concern expressed regarding the publication of the 2017 Arms Code on the Police web site. This was an early draft mistakenly published. Please read below which is from an email sent to FACF members this evening that will clarify the situation.
Please circulate around your memberships ASAP to avoid further confusion.
As always if you have questions or concerns please contact me
Thanks and regards
Andrew
You will all be aware that Police’s Response and Operations Group has been reviewing the Arms Code – last published in 2013. Some of you may have been consulted on aspects that needed updating.
Today it came to the attention of Police National Headquarters that an early version had been placed on Police’s internet site. Members of the firearms community have correctly noted errors in this document.
For your information the document has been taken off the website. It is our intention to complete our review of the Arms Code and this process will include consultation with FCAF members. The aim is for the update to be published in hard copy form and on the website by mid-July."
Yeah Andrew is a good guy doing his best for us but the cynic in me would have to question the "mistaken" publication by the police and their motives behind it.
Letting off steam on a forum is one thing but it is a numbers game now via submissions, so keep those submissions rolling in to Paula, her wee advisory team, your MP.
Just to clarify, the section of the message I posted following ANDREW is what they received, not Andrew's words. Don't kill the messanger (Andrew) or me for that sake. ha ha
