Still no interviews been done.

Sons application went through finally. 6mths later.
Booked him in to the course as soon as he got his email. He sat his test today. Past easily.
The long wait for vetting now.....hopefully its not...

My son's application went in at the start of Dec...still haven't heard anything

Only get an extention IF you fal expired between March 25 2020 and Sept 25 2020 AND your renewal application had been handed in and receipted

I think the vettor that came round home was a florist. She had absolutely zero knowledge of firearms or security.

A separate lockable compartment is still legal, no matter what the vettors tell...

Get that in writing!!!
I was told 3 times I had an extention.... until they decided I didn't.
Any correspondance with them you need it in writing to cover your ass

Complaint form to fill out.....

https://forms.police.govt.nz/complaint

Time to bombard your local MPs to get them to start asking questions.
About time the FA administration is removed from the police!

Oh I know.....
I've probably been flagged as well after my renewal process lol

Put my boys application in.....Lets see how long it takes.
The interviews should be short as we've all been interviewed already, when I did my renewal, and vetted as fit and proper

No its the only application form that is available now. They will not accept the old 1 page form anymore

Police are now also using uniformed officers to do vetting as they can't catch up with the backlog of renewals let alone new applications.
Vettors also been instructed to collect serial numbers

If anyone reads the Arms Regulations ( that is the working rules for the Arms Act ), none of these new requests are covered or even listed.
These new requirements are therefore very suspect...

1 really annoying thing is whenever they ring their numbers show up as "private".
And they are very reluctant to give out their direct dial numbers as well.
Its as if they want zero accountability

So now that I have in my hands my brand new FAL I can open up about the total cock up the Police firearm licencing administration system is.
Sorry this will be a long rant and contains bad...

Also I know they have been reading this .....

Yes, I have been in contact with Mike.

Was also made very clear to me by the AO that if I didn't comply with whatever they asked for I would have my application refused

Bit of news.....

As on the PNZ website, any FAL that expires between Mar 25 and Sept 25 AND the renewal process has started will get a 12mth extention to the expiry date while the renewal process...

If you have anyone over the age of 18 living at your home that is not a referree for your application, you will need to have them also fill out extra forms to give their permission to be interviewed....

Got another call from the AO today.
All I will say at this point is..... FFS! :disapointed::dark mood::angry:

Will post more as I can...
