Thread: Unlicenced man sells illegal firearm to gang member

Address? I don't think I have ever been asked for that.

Unfortunately it is a requirement of a dealer, it seems most dealers are unaware of this as we were until pointed out by our local arms officer.

The arms act refers to the arms regulations Arms Regulations 1992 (SR 1992/346) (as at 01 July 2017) Contents – New Zealand Legislation
click on #7 "records kept by licence dealer" and then go down to #2



Every licensed dealer must record, in respect of every item to which this regulation applies received by the licensed dealer (including every item received for sale, repair, or modification),—
(a)
particulars of the item (including its serial number, calibre, make, and model); and

(b)
the date the item was received; and

(c)
except in the case of a pistol or restricted weapon received under section 10(2) of the Act, the name and address of the person from whom the item is received; and

(d)
except in the case of a pistol or restricted weapon received under section 10(2) of the Act or a restricted airgun received from a person who is of or over the age of 18 years, the number of the firearms licence of the person from whom the item is received

@DPT You make a factual point backed up by law.

However the rifle in question was Never Received by the dealer in question. I know this as FACT.

The shitbag wanted a new magazine for the rifle and when asked what it was, ie make model, he did not know.
This the point at which he went to the car to retrieve it.

So point I'm making is the rifle was only brought onto the premises to confirm a part requirement. It was never received, held or even repaired by dealer.

Yes, sorry my reply wasnt regarding that bloke or dealer, just responding to another post regarding a dealer only needing to see a license on collection of a rifle that had work done on it.
