[QUOTE="kiwikid, post: 1454950, member: 56094"] In the past an offence such as this would have resulted in a slap over the wrist with a wet bus ticket here in New Zealand. In the last two or three years things have changed, all for the better IMO. It is not uncommon to see official Police flyers pinned up in sporting goods stores stating fines of up to NZ$100,000 and or a prison sentence. All firearms owned by the offender would be confiscated, not just the one used, and if found guilty they would probably be forfeited to the Crown and the offenders firearms licence would be revoked. The chances of ever getting another firearms licence would be very slim indeed. We have an odd law here that states that any weapon that the courts order to be forfeited to the Crown must be destroyed rather than putting them up for auction. [/QUOTE]
