25-303...nope, had to phone. Been out since WW11.

Tried calling to register last week and they hung up on me twice

Doing a load development on one at the moment, would have been a great bit of kit in its day, can still outshoot quite a few factory rifles I have seen at the range

Then I think, I’m waiting for a call to arrange a time for a visit, maybe that call ain’t coming, because after the call to ask me if I wanted to renew my licence and telling them I already had applied, and after the person confirmed I had, maybe she never actioned it. The next call maybe to collect my firearms for not having a current licence.
Be stern words on Monday, after my 40min wait for them to answer the phone.
Drives one nuts, but hey that’s what they want

That's why its always best to send an emai

Shit like this makes arguments against the registry increasingly futile …

including attempting to defeat the course of justice, intentionally failing to register firearms, knowingly providing false or misleading information to the Police for the registry, and supplying a firearm to an unlicensed person.”

And all bar one of those offences is a result of new laws pertaining to the registry, ie the law has dreamed up the registry and makes a whole lot of new offences.

The Firearms Safety Authority executive director, Angela Brazier, said the Firearms Registry has proved invaluable by linking the unlawful hunting in Cheviot with licence holders who allegedly diverted their firearms.

So these dodgy licence holders registered their firearms in the new register, then illegally supplied them to non FAL holders, who then got caught with the illegally supplied firearms?
I smell bullshit.

cant help but wonder if its not overstated propaganda. Its not like it hasnt happened before.....

Just a heads up to anyone who is on the register as other people have said loading your firearms on it is just the first part. To fully be able to view the list of firearms registered in your name you must print out the identity verification form fill it out and take it into a police station with your firearms license. This is then sent to the FSA and updated.This will give you full access and any additions afterwards are loaded or removed very soon.

@trooper90 - 100% - that almost caught me out!

didn't even know about that

I have mentioned it on numerous occasions, the last time some member shot me down and said its not a thing anymore, hope they found out the hard way that it still is.

So what you’re saying is that Realme is invalid?? I’ll check mine tomorrow as this doesn’t make sense.

A good point

In a way it's a bit like the stupid wire centre barriers that NZTA love to string down the roads - people hitting the barriers is taken as "proof" that they are working when in fact they have just made everyone's life cuntier
