SSAA membership is a sufficient reason.

Yeah I know that in regards to obtaining a licence, but is there some sort of yearly, 5 yearly check or something they do to see if you actually attend SSAA events? Like if your membership expires at a club, are you now in posession of a weapon without a valid reason? Not sure what goes on in that regard, I'll be out at the range every chance I get. but might not be able to for months on end depending on work, and stuff going on elsewhere.

When you do your safety course, they will go over this with you. And yes its your responsibility not to let membership laps. If it does then there goes ur reason to have that firearm.

You need a reason to own a licence and a firearm - This is why it is important to join a club or Formal letter to shoot on land. I dont think longarm shooters need a minimum club shoot anymore, but Pistol shooters do.

Remember you also need a Permit to Acquire EVERY time you buy a new firearm. So dont get mixed up with dodgy cunts who want to sell you a busted up old .303 for a carton of piss, keep it legit. Also in QLD a Firearms licence is legal property of the QLD Police. They can also come around to your house to check your firearms and safe/s. The gun shops will tell you all of this.

Yeah I won't be doin the dodge on fire arms, I want it all legit so I don't have to be bubbas bitch in prison.

I'll have to wait to see where we end up in regards to a house, and the land we are on. no point bolting a safe to the floor in this house it would fall straight through!

are there any obvious signs of wear and tear even a dealer will try and "overlook" when selling a weapon to a schmuck like me?

SSAA are a bunch of weak CUNTS, if i was running the show id disband the fucking thing and hang the top brass....

edit: Not wanting to start a blue here, i just got fired up sorry

Why Ivan?

why such a big canon ?...a good eye with a 222 will pull bout anything down that shits in the bush...pigs included,seen it done shot after shot with a sako .222 with a 6 by 59 pecar vairable scope on it, and if you havent shot a .17 befor? no not an air rifle! find out about em...very nice rifle with a volicty of about 4000 ft p/sec great for things that hop,good 12power scope and a steady hand it will head shoot 200 mtrs plus no prob's :)

.204 ruger is a much more interesting round. .223 and .308 are becoming uber standard rounds for reloading equipment and cheaper (Wolf) ammo prices.

The amount of trouble the clubs im in had to go through to get membership is out of control, they say they are for the shooters but then make it fucking hard for the clubs. the 3 clubs im in have better facilities than most, every club in Australia that shoots Black Powder has had trouble with the ssaa. They just dont like us and it all comes down to 1 person, i wont name the prick.
Then when the gov. gets all fired up about gun control the ssaa say "no we wont give in to them" and everybody cheers.. Then they go meet with the gov. and come back saying we have to hand in more than it started out to be ... Spineless pricks.
Have you every been to the AGM? what a bunch of children....
This my 2 cents and if your happy with what they do for you thats good, but they do fuck all for the clubs im in.

I dont see the point in owning a firearm considering you need to be able to just about prove your ability you walk on water to keep one.

And the police are still very anti firearm even thought your allowed to own them.
Any more severe incidents with wackos and the government will just legislate gun owners out of existance anyway.

Cause it's fun.

Timing was out Dan. And it's all about timing.

For future reference the "I want to whinge about guns" topic is here: http://www.streetfighters.com.au/for...TOPIC_ID=13840 :D. Now as Bo said, have you got any advice for old mate? Here's a couple of links for you

Yer sorry that was my fault....

If you want to have fun have a look at muzzle loaders...
I'm not really into the small cal. high vol. stuff i like big heavy bullets that wack hard, but the speed the little bullets are travelling at now days is fawking awesome...
they kick arse on my .58cal ... 990 Feet per second:D

Got to the range and talk to as many people as you can, most of them will offer you a shot, and go with one of them to the local gun shop and shoulder as many different rifles as you can. What feels good for me will be different for you.
And if you want to go hunting DONT get the shiniest rifle you can, reflection is a bitch.

Mate i would absolutely LOVE to have a crack at a muzzle loader, I think that will be on the agenda after i finish jumping through hoops.

mmmmmmmmm ...Im not really good at many things, my riding is average, however, I have instructed (13 years) a lot of current serving SF snipers etc. It is something Im really good at....... if you want advice without all the wank----- send me a PM and I will point you in the right direction....

cheers

Pete

ps

Ranges are full of gene-lacking, socially in-ept groups of strange fuckers who are too blinkered in their ways to give an intelligent enthusiast, prompt to the point, all round advice.

Pete's the best bloke to speak to mate!

This is why you join a club to get ur licence sorted then do your own thing.
