Just got this... "Very Powerful Firearms"

Post by 1Fatman » 11 Jun 2018, 6:47 pm

Hello All,

I have only just joined the forum a few days ago and have been busy reading.

This post that was sent to me on FB and as we all know if it's not on FB then it's not true :lol: :lol:

URGENT UPDATE
“Very Powerful Firearms” – Reasonable justification in WA

Recently WAPOL have been sending letters to licensed firearms owners in WA who own ‘Very Powerful Firearms’ (VPF)
The police define VPF as “firearms designed to hit targets at 1500 metres and further" more commonly known as Long Range Precision Rifles.

We understand the letters are being sent to anyone who has a firearm chambered in .300 or greater and are requesting the licensed firearm owner to justify the possession of ‘such very powerful firearms’ by demonstrating they ‘possess suitable shooting skills and experience to safely and effectively engage targets at these extended distances.’
The police are no doubt looking for excuses to revoke firearms licences for these particular firearms.
You will need to word your response very carefully to prevent your licence being revoked.

If you receive one of these letters, please feel free to contact us. If you have already responded to the police and your licence is revoked, we are happy to help. With a unified, consistent approach, each shooter has a better chance of keeping their guns.
Save our numbers in your phone. Remember we do all types of criminal legal work.


It looks like there are some fun and games happening to those of us who live in WA (Again)
