The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

George was here late yesterday and he had still not got off his ass so I rang there and then to book him in and the recorded message gave all the details needed, I printed off the form and George filled it out and dropped it off straight away.. they said it could be withing a few weeks.
I will update the first post but...
Damn!!! Might have been what I said...... In post 4 of the thread.
Once you figure out the station it is you need to hand it into you can get the form over the counter at that station. Takes 30seconds to fill out.

In qld it's still the same. Do a safety coarse fill out your paper work hand it in to the police station pay your money then wait for it to be processed usually 3-9 months then fill out your PTA for every fire arm
Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward.
Whoever cannot take care of themselves without that law is both.
For a wounded man shall say to his assailant,
'If I live, I will kill you. If I die, You are forgiven.'
Such is the rule of honour.

Fantastic!
Take the booklet with you if you feel the need mate. They pretty much hand you the answers - they WANT you to pass because it means you know the info.

AB or anyone else considering getting a licence maybe you should also join say SSAA or one of the other hunting or shooting organisations as well -
the $20 million liability insurance is a good thing to have, it is cheap insurance also a reason to have licence.

Yeah don't stress mate, I've met you once and your not a complete dumb ass so you will be fine. The test is designed for 15 year olds to pass so if anyone fails it completely then they should never be allowed near a firearm. The firearm officer that ran mine was more than willing to help out as needed especially the mandatory couple of questions.
Also I never read the book before going, they deliver it all through death by PowerPoint and a really old video.
