FAIR AND
REASONABLE
The current and proposed law changes are likely to be the most significant change to our rights and privileges in almost four decades. COLFO's volunteers work to ensure that those making decisions which impact our community are provided with the best information available, and that bad ideas are challenged with evidence and logic.
​
We aim to bring a fair and reasonable voice on behalf of legal firearm owners to the decision making tables of our nation.
MISSION & HISTORY.
The Council of Licenced Firearms Owners represents the interests of firearms owners and is the largest voluntary shooting-related organisation in New Zealand.
​
COLFO was set up in 1996 by a number of interested individuals and groups to combat firearms-related disinformation. COLFO takes a professional approach using sound research to dispel the inaccurate and emotive claims of self-proclaimed anti-gun "experts".
​
Membership is available to any society, association, organisation, or individual whose objects and practices are supportive of the Council's objectives.
COLFO is a member of the Pacific Shooting Sports Forum and the World Forum for the Future of Shooting Sports.
