In Victoria it is easier to get a pilots license that it is to get a firearms license. Because grandma runs the state and believes that all guns are bad.

If you don't have your licence endorsed for hunting I don't think you have a genuine reason for hunting. You can have two genuine reasons on one licence. Best thing to do would be to buy a game licence then email your local firearms officer

Hunt and Fish Thanks for answering my question, actually I also got the latter from Victoria police too that there is special conditions under my licence which The holder is authorised to hunt pest animals on Crown land and private land , that’s why I’ve got confused.

Very helpful mate, I just have one question, I Don't have a passport or birth certificate, I do have a Victorian drivers license and other documents as ID but none of the "Primary" forms they require, I can easily make up the 100 points with secondary forms of ID but is it even worth lodging my application if I don't have one of the stated "Primary" forms of ID?

Hey Ledge just had a question for you. I'm about to start applying for my gun license and just wanted some more clarification on the 28 days cooling-off period on the first permit to acquire and how to bundle it into the Gun license application process. Ive read a few sites saying that basically we go for our first permit to accquire/ purchase of the first firearm when we submit our Gun license application online, and other sites saying that once we get the invoice to bpay or when get got to vicroads to take a photo thats when we got to purchase that first firearm. could you please clarify this process? Cheers mate!

Hi Robby, The PTA is a separate form to the licence. You can lodge the PTA and the licence at the same time so you don't have to wait 28 days twice. The 28 days starts from when you pay for your licence

@@jaydenjames5882 hey jayden, ive gone thru the process and because the application form is now online you can't actually submit the PTA with the app (as I was instructed by the firearms store and DFO). So its submit the app first then its a 28 day waiting period for processing then you get a blue payment/picture form , that's the form you can use to get your PTA at the earliest. Then once you submit the PTA app its another 28 days.... so technically 28 days period, hope I helped a bit

can you do the same if its a juniors type or is that different?

Hi Bez, I'm pretty sure you don't need to be a citizen. Google 'divisional firearms officer' and send your local firearms officer' an email.

instead of joining a hunting club, one of the other reasons they allow is if you own or if someone you know gives you permission to hunt on their land of sufficient size in a regional/rural area, so is it really necessary to join someone like SSAA or can I use the rural land reason?

@HuntandFish

Australia the biggest nanny country in the world 😂😂😂

This licensing procedure is such an absolute pain in the ass for people wanting to get into air rifles. I mean, why on Earth do people who want to own an air gun need to go through the exact same licensing procedure that people who want to own a shotgun do? With the exact same storage requirements as a real firearm too?! Wtf Clearly the goal of all this is to discourage people from getting into this it as a hobby. It worked for me, way too much effort to even bother.

@HuntandFish

3 жыл бұрын

Yeah it's s bit of a pain but you only have to do it once. Once you get your air rifle you might find you want to get a rimfire or centrefire and you will already be licensed. Just make sure you apply for A and B categories when you do it.

Good video but you are wrong when it comes to past criminal records not enabling you to get your firearms license. This video will discourage anybody with spent convictions from pursuing the sport
