Firearms Licences: Introduction

2. The possession of firearms in New Zealand is considered a privilege, rather than a right.

In Giles v O'Fee (unreported District Court Wellington (MA 309/88) 29 August 1989) Judge P J Keane stated "in New Zealand the possession of firearms is a privilege, not a right".
