Thread: Police pushing firearms safety in mass media

This wouldnt happen to be hate speech about theives woul it??? Naughty naughty

Reminds me of a stick-on bumper label I found in Canada a few years ago in a workshop.
"DON'T STEAL; THE GOVERNMENT HATES COMPETITION".

Rabbits are'nt the problem. It's zombies.

You guys are getting sidetracked.

Arms regulations 1992:

the holder, where he or she has both a firearm and am- munition for it in his or her possession, either—
(i) shall take reasonable steps to ensure that the am-
munition is not stored in such a way that a person who obtains access to the firearm also obtains ac- cess to the ammunition; or
(ii) shall ensure that, where the ammunition is stored with the firearm, the firearm is not capable of being discharged:

Has this been updated recently ?

Sure, you don't legally have to keep your bolt and ammo stored separately but it's reasonable that you do and the police want to encourage you to. It's a safety drawback of some types of firearms that you can't take the bolt out and store it separately.

Part of the agenda here will be to discourage opportunistic thefts by raising expectations that stealing a firearm won't yield a useable weapon or its ammunition. Your own family (specially your children) are the ones most likely to get hold of your gun and have an accident, so if you want them to feel safe, let them know its stored safely too.

They could have some manners and ask nicely? Or is that approach just for the crims?

I agree with everything you say but it irritates the fuck out of me when police start mandating what is not in legislation

Crimestoppers..another name for Gun Control NZ?

And a life sentence.

48 hours in stocks on main street.......

Well it sure as hell isn't the Mongols, H.A., H.H., the Mongrels or the Black mobs.....

didnt mention facebook,twitter,snapchats etc...anyone who knows or recognises you on social media and ties that to hunting/shooting has fair idea you will have firearms....the local butcher employs folks......the list of possibilities is endless...far better to have things as secure as you can,than to hope no body knows you have them.
