It sounds like NSW is the easiest state to get a license from what I've been reading here.
Ring FAR for paperwork, find somone at a range to do test (every range has at least 1 person able to do it), send paperwork off with safety course certificate and genuine reason, wait from a month to 6 weeks and your all sweet to head to the rta for a photo if your approved.
Looks like next wednesday is sate firearm safety course day lol!!
Isn't being a level 13 prestige in Call of Duty a good enough reason ??? I might have to redo my paper work.... :DQuote:

I did mine in Jan, might be slightly different between courses..... and the video was ancient, they said apparently there is a new one in production though. Basically even if it is all spoken (with or without powerpoint) they make sure you known everything prior to your test.Quote:

I didn't think there were firearms licences until 95. All we had to have up till then (in Tassie at least) was a hunting licence which you would just go into the local sports shop and get in most cases a day or two before a particular season opened.
I was born in 1983, so couldn't quite walk into the cop shop to get my licence then ;)Quote:
