So I received a letter and forms from the Police
Informing me to renew license OR dispose of my firearms and then to surrender my licence. 35 years ago I sat and passed my firearms license and was issued with a Lifetime license. The same as with my Drivers license. Years passed away and they took back our lifetime licenses and made us pay for its renewal every 5 years. This year's renewal is accompanied with a list of questions that must be answered. First Pay the $126.00 fee
Fill out the renewal forms, pay n provide 2 passport style photos and post to local arms officer. Wait 6 weeks for an interview. Answer the questions correctly to pass the new test. Wait for another number of weeks/months and your aloud to hunt n shoot for another 5 years. What will be the tests comprise of next time around? Rule creep! Just another gentle wind of change that's slowly being implemented by the Armed Constabulary upon the Queens British subjects for the slow reduction of armed citizens. I was reading New Zealand forum posts by other license holders. The delays and drama upsetting many. There is a common opinion that complaining to the Police would attract unwanted scrutiny upon the ones who complain? Rather sad when law abiding citizens fear the law enforcement organization? So I'll be a good little sheeple and obey Masters rulings. ....
