Both false according to your own link:
“Dotcom did not have licence for the gun, and neither did his bodyguard.”
“the gun found in an open safe in the "panic room" with Dotcom”

Meanwhile, Dotcom's head of security, Wayne Phillip Tempero, is facing firearms charges for providing Dotcom with the semi-automatic shotgun which was found in Dotcom's safe room when police cut their way in during his arrest. Tempero said that the gun had been purchased under a valid New Zealand license, and Davidson told the court that the saferoom and gun were for the safety of Dotcom's family. But yes, the safe was apparently open. I did try to find if Wayne Tempero case of gun possession was concluded, but I can't find any news article about it.
- Samuel_Michon 13y agoThanks for following up. As for the firearms charges, I only read the allegations, I hadn’t found the bodyguard’s response. Your quote leads me to believe the bodyguard had at least some kind of license (if he didn’t have proof, it would be foolish to state so in court), whether that license covered the semi-automatic shotgun remains to be seen.
