	Good day I'm new to the forum and soon new to New Zealand, joining up with my Fiancee already working there. Would like to ask a question most like answered before, but I'm getting mixed answers from different sources. I know from reading on the police site, that license is required for a PCP air rifle, but not for as breakneck nor a CO2. Does that mean a foreigner like myself can own a air rifle to join clubs or not. An individual at one of the police stations mentioned that that was incorrect and that all forms of air rifles needs a licence. I'm an active competition shooter in the larger calibers, as well as an advanced firearm instructor in South Africa. Would like to continue shooting even if it means under the air rifle categories. Thanks for your time
