I think each State will vary on this subject quite alot. I just know that in NSW most ppl dont bother taking the sport up anymore due to the licensing difficulties and strict storage requirements. A blue with the misses can even get you a 10 year ban and loss of all your firearms fairly easily.

I.B.

It's only pistol licensing that you need to attend atleast 10 meets a year I think it was.

I looked into getting it myself but its not worth the hassle, I wanted a .45 for pig shooting but had to spend about $500 a year on bullets at comps just to keep it licensed... its crap really but I guess it keeps the pistols off the streets.

There was a write-up in a SSAA magazine about 2 years ago saying how only 3% of shootings in Australia are with REGISTERED firearms, how goods that! The system is pretty tight but its as it needs to be... they need to lean off on the "C" cat rules, their a bit strict and stupid.

only if your deemed "A Prohibitive Person" due to a criminal offense... but not all criminal offenses will land u that.

Good luck Rab. Was a pain in the ass to get the rifle license here in WA.

Gave up in the end. Unless you got a block of land big enough, it is not worth the hassle.

Yeah, spewing I didn't do it while I had land.

 

Probably a 12+ month process from joining the local pistol club til I get my own gun home.

my biggest barrier was getting a safe installed in the house as I had opposition from the minister of war and finance.

She would not allow firearms in the house even if it meant no ammo in the safe.

That killed the deal for me.
