Andrew Hore
Retired All Black Andrew Hore is facing a firearms charge, for the 2nd time.
The 36-year-old Hore will appear in the Alexandra District Court on Tuesday – where he will be charged with supplying a firearm to a non-licensed holder following an accident on the 1st weekend of duck shooting season.
A police spokesman said the charge was laid following an incident on 2 May at Patearoa when a 23-year-old was shot in the elbow.
A number of people had been driving in an all-terrain vehicle when as the ATV went over a rise, the victim fell off, along with 2 firearms.
“As the firearms hit the ground, 1 discharged and shot the man in the elbow.”
It’s not the 1st time Hore has been in trouble with the law over firearms.
In 2005, he was 1 of 3 men convicted and fined for shooting and killing a protected fur seal in New Zealand.
The group were on a fishing trip when they started shooting at a group of fur seals on the shore. The incident was caught on video by a group of tourists on a nearby beach.
In the same incident, Hore was also charged with a firearms offence for possessing a semi-automatic shotgun, but that charge was withdrawn by police.
Hore was a hooker for the All Blacks from 2002 until his retirement following the 2013 All Black Northern Hemisphere tour.
An unlicensed firearm holder could legally be in possession of a firearm, if they were accompanied by a licensed firearms holder who could take control of the firearm if need be, the spokesman said.
The police would not comment further on the case as it was before the court.

It seems Guns and “The Hore” don’t mix too well.
This is not the first time Andrew has been before the Courts on gun related issues.
He is not from the Wild West……………………………………..but a Wild South this man is.
@ Rage:
In those days,
we Voldites had no one else to entertain us.
Keo.comedy.za was dying a slow and protracted death.
So we entertained ourselves………………………and we gave Keo his greatest thread ever.
Why……………………………because deep down, very deep down………………………..very, very, very, very deep down ………………………we all loved each other.
Love, it’s a beautiful thing.
