@@BenchrestMarksman I have been away from home, I haven't tried to do all the paperwork yet. I got my A and B licence when I was 17 years old, I'm 48 now. In that time I haven't had a visit from the police, to check that I'm doing everything right. I had a really good safe that was bolted into the concrete and it had to locks on it. And I was the only person who had the keys.
Hey mate thanks heaps for posting
Thank you for watching
Thanks, buddy. It took me 10 months to wait. I am an ex-military. My mate is not ex-military. He got his in 12 weeks. I am now building my armory.
No problems at all and yes there is no consistency of timeframes from licensing
Very helpful cheers mate
Glad it helped
It was 12 months between applying for my license for AB and getting my first firearm.
License took forever to come and my first PTA took forever too.
Yes before the wait times are absently crazy. My licence took 11 months to be approved and two months waiting for my PTA
That's insane. I applied this year and it took about 7 weeks to be approved. Seems they've significantly improved the time frames for newer shooters, which is nice atleast.
Cheers bro. Super helpful
Glad it helped
Same goes for Victoria, the PTA takes around the same timeframe,
The firearms course is where I found some people get stuck, it’s simple enough to do but if this is your first time doing this without ever even holding a firearm at a range and taking a shot, then it might be a little hard because of the lack of understanding, sort of like learning to drive online but never actually being in a car on the road. I would strongly encourage anyone interested to attend a open day or a event day at the local sport shooting club to learn a thing or two before hand as it will make a huge difference when you do the test. Now days the tests are offered completely online from most reputable firearms dealers.😉
Thank you very much for your comment and yes I highly agree that people need to go to a Range day at There local club and have an actual go at handling a firearm.
Hi I'm just wondering do you need a certain amount of land and if you do are you aloud to get a license and store it on a family members property
Hey thank you very much for your comment and I would highly recommend you contact QLD weapons licensing to discuss your individual license needs (07) 3015 7777 9am to 3pm, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.
Great content very informative, I’m looking into getting into the sport, I recently did pistol shooting in NSW and fell in love with it but always gravitated towards rifles. My question is what’s the overall start up cost for a beginner once licensed. Cheers
Thank you very much. With a rifle side of the sport it all depends on what you want to do. Do you want to compete in PRS or Benchrest or Silhouettes. The best place is to start is to figure out what you want to do and then build your rifle around that.
I didn't know my licence had expired, that was several years ago. I was told that I have to do everything again! I haven't ever done anything wrong, and I was wondering lately if I could get my A and B licence back. I only want to target shoot at my local range. Could you please give me some information on getting the licence back? Thank you mate 👍
If you license expired several years ago you would need to do everything again. For the purpose of target shooting you can use SSAA as a genuine reason to obtain a firearms licence.

Damn expensive. Look at all those fees. Why do they have all the different categories too, makes no sense. Should be a simple back-ground check then full license (no categories). Australia needs to relax the laws & hoops to obtain. If you're a good guy, have a license. If you're a bad guy, no license.
Yes they make it very difficult for anybody honest wanting to get a license
Makes lots of sense if you are a surviving relative of the Port Arthur or Collingwood mass shootings. We Aussies who remember crazy people shooting innocents for “target practise” tend to have rather long memories and think otherwise!
i'm having a bit of trouble, i was born in NSW but been living in QLD almost all my life
Why is that stopping you getting a QLD licence?
@@geckoking666 because about 30 yrs ago, I changed my name, only via Stat Dec, But not on my birth cert, I sent the forms away now to try and sort it out, So I hope it'll be fixed up soon
@@shaneclarke7482 I wish you all the best mate. Hopefully not a long process for you.
I had my first air rifle at 8yo, when i was 12yo, my father gave us a 22's, then when i was 14yo, i bought a new 22 from K-mart, later on i got another 22 and a 303, i used to shoot comps in Belmont rifle range :)

Self Defence a God given Right , but the Satan sa No You dont have that Right
Yes that's right
Rubbish that they wont lwt you own a firearm for self defense
yes sadly self-defence is not a legitimate reason to own a firearm
Don't need any of this rubbish we're I live no categories just an FBI check and buy what ever You want ...
You also live under a tyrannical government with the FBI being a version of the Gestapo, your kids get shot at school, you have a completely open border while waging illegal wars on multiple countries....
Paperwork doesn't seem so bad to be honest
NICs check
yes they do make it very difficult here
Where I live you can safely send your kids to school too
