Poll: Do you support the opening of a new Gun City mega store in Sockburn?

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Gun City owner David Tipple is defending his new Christchurch mega store against community backlash, saying the business is a "legitimate activity".

The new Sockburn store will open on Main South Rd in the first week of August.

The company was granted resource consent for the new store on a non-notified basis in January.

Response to regifting presents

Gordon from Halswell

My mind tends to wander:
I do not see any problem with regifting it back to the person who gave it, they obviously liked it. In fact, that might work out well as you buy the present you want, then gift it to someone you know who will gift it back.
Perfect, no decision needs to be made about Xmas presents
