Thread: Re applying for expired FAL

Hi Guys

Has anyone here had there FAL expire and then had to reapply for one after a length of time...ie a couple of years?

What has your experience been with this?

It looks like this might be a long shoot as I see Im no longer classed as fit a proper.....been out side of the country for more than 10 years.

But I can supply a criminal records check from the UK to show that I have been a good boy...

A copy from the FAL form.

Fit and proper criteria for applicants (regulation 15A)

To hold a firearms licence, you must be considered a fit and proper person to possess firearms or airguns. Further criteria have been included for finding that a person is not a fit and proper person, i.e.:

That -

the applicant spent time outside New Zealand in the previous 10 years; and
the Police sought information about that period to inform a decision as to whether the applicant is a fit and proper person to possess a firearm or an airgun; but
the Police have not received the information about that period from the applicant or been able to verify the information about that period provided by the applicant; or

If any person named by the applicant in their application is unable or unwilling to provide sufficient information to enable the Police to be satisfied that the applicant is a fit and proper person to possess a firearm or an airgun; or

The Police have not been able to contact or confirm the identity of any person named by the applicant who resides overseas, or the person will not agree to an interview.

More looking at those that have spent a number of years out of the country and then come home and reapplied with the expire clause.
