As a result of changes to the Arms Act, Farmlands has made the difficult decision to cease selling ammunition and hunting supplies.
The revised Arms Act legislation places a range of restrictions on retailers that sell firearms and ammunition, in particular:
- All store staff selling firearms & ammunition are required to
- Store Managers are personally, criminally and financially liable for any breaches of the Act;
- Significant changes are required to store layouts and security in order to comply with the Act.
This has been an extremely tough call for us to make. We understand the convenience of being able to purchase ammunition and hunting items when shopping at your cooperative and apologise for any inconvenience this may cause to you, our shareholder. Our teams are equipped to help you find a suitable alternative outlet for all your hunting supplies, and you will find a list by region below of our Card Partners stocking hunting equipment.
We thank you for your understanding and ongoing support of your co-operative. * See the changes to the Arms Act via the New Zealand Police website HERE
