Wow I would have thought lilydale, croydon and Ringwood would all be big enough for a firearms officer.

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.

Is the licencing more stringent now with whats happening on the news or just same ole same ole

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

Ok, so I'm booked in next Wednesday!

I've read the booklet but I have a shocking memory.

They have in bold that we must know the 10 safety rules!!!!

I'm sure ill remember it on the day...lol...better re read it just to be safe. I know the booklet was really just common sense but I haven't had a test in decades...lol

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.

Very true, good call.

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.
