About COLFO:

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.

 

The objectives of the Council are:

  • To represent the collective interests of members through the preservation of the rights and privileges of licensed firearms users and collectors, promote responsible gun ownership and act as a central reference point for Government, Police, and the media.
  • To be recognised as the collective organisation whose views and opinions on firearms legislation and related matters are considered representative, authoritive and responsible.
  • To affiliate firearms user groups and firearms related organisations which are supportive of the first objective and which collectively seek to advance that object.
  • To undertake such actions, research, and inquiries that are necessary to achieve the first objective.
  • To prepare and disseminate any information that would enhance the well-being, rights and obligations of members.
