The police rego check in their website gives absolutely no information of the address or phone numbers or etc, it either tells you that rego is either stolen or not, an adaptation of this with the FLIC number could potentially tell you VAILD or INVAILD, in essence it can also be run by the police porting the information of the licence status the same way they do regos.

unfortunately that was done by GC and by luck the number met the criteria. People could use this to find legit numbers.

As in a criminal shopping list? Pretty shit idea to be fair mate

Would it worry anyone if I told you I could get a list of names and home addresses of thousands (but not all) FAL-holders off the interwebs right now?

I could have got at least 150 names, addys and FL numbers yesterday buying an item at HnF, book was open on the counter for all to see, 2 seconds and a single camera phone pic= possible info in the wrong hands

They just said the system will change to where the current on line form will be sent to the gun store / firearm holder by the police after the firearms licence is sighted and confirmed by them.
Make sense since you need to visit them any ways.

Why'd they not check the FAL number? Because they can't.
The form should have been stamped? Nope, out of all the ones I have gotten, my AO nor any police officer has stamped the form.
Stamping is NOT required.
Stop pulling shit out from no where guys, just as bad as the MSM you complain about.

Normally gets a stamp from my local too.

I agree that its all a little to easy, but the alternative is what most of the old hands are very much against - firearms registration (here comes the real shit fight)

Because it dose almost nothing. The biggest source of illegal firearms by far are stolen ones. To stop this you must ban the public (and police) from owning firearms.

"Normally" does not = legal requirement. Gun City were not wrong to not question the stamp being there.
Whether your AO or police officer stamps your form or not doesn't matter, Gun City is not required to ensure it is there.

Lets hope that all that happens is that the Police now send it/ a scanned copy to the seller.
Oh and TV3 gets their arse holes majorly reamed!

If that happens you can expect it to take 2/3 months :/

All those things mentioned will need a change in the arms act, that isn't goin to happen overnight. The only thing that needs to change is how the seller can ensure that it was an actual police officer that signed the form.

the police have said they are now taking responsibility for sending the mail order form to the seller direct

With all the reporting about crims having easy access to fire-arms and the current crop of fucktards not identifying their targets I'm detecting a fair amount of anti-gun hysteria getting worked up by the media. Simple fact is some dirt bag forged/impersonated an arms officer. and should be prosecuted.
I buy firearms in person mainly because I don't trust courier drivers not to screw things up but also because its way less hassle than getting the form signed etc. You can also see the sellers not dodgy as well.

And wouldn't the retail outlets love it if you couldn't sell on Tard Me or on line like here.

isnt it far worse for someone to knowingly commit an offence,reporters/ratings or not, rather than a "possible" mistake on the shops part.....
