ARMS & EXPLOSIVES
POLICE PERMITS NECESSARY FOR PURCHASES.
“Under the Arms Emergency Regulations, 1940, farmers and contractors wishing to obtain blasting powder, gelignite, etc, must now apply to the Masterton Police Station where permits will be issued,” stated SeniorSergeant G. A. Doggett this morning. The former system, under which persons requiring explosives were required to give their name, address and occupation to dealers, has now been abolished. Aliens are now forbidden to procure shot guns, or ammunition of any kind without a permit under the Arms Act.
The following special notice has been issued to all licensed dealers under the Arms Act, 1920, and the Arms Emergency Regulations, 1940: “1. No alien may now procure shot guns or ammunition of any kind without a permit. 2. No person, regardless of nationality (other than a licensed dealer) may now procure explosives without a permit. 3. All licensed dealers must now keep a record of the sale of shot guns and ammunition to aliens and the sale of explosives to any person. Every licensed dealer must also require every person to produce a permit issued by an authorised police officer before selling.”
