Do you mean you can't transfer a firearm in Qld that is not inspected to be in safe working condition?


In theory yes....however it doesn't always happen in practice.
If the licensed dealer believes the firearm is not safe to use or is not properly disabled(needs a cert) then they can block the sale. :thumbsup: :drinks:

I've traded a lot of firearms, over many years, and through many dealers, and NEVER had is suggested that a f/a dealer is supposed to check the safe functionality of the firearm been transferred.
Perhaps you can point us in the direction of the relevant section of the Act or Regulation that pertains to that requirement.


Actually its info given to me by my LGS who has been trading in firearms for around forty years :thumbsup: :drinks:

OK, so it's not a legal (legislated) requirement. :unknown:
Just something your LGS has chosen to do, without any actual requirement to do so. :thumbsdown:

Which means you don't know if it's law or not, t's just what you were told.

I had a guy on FB the other day insisting that the law in Victoria requires a minimum case length of 51mm for deer. Been "hunting for over sixty years" so he knows it for a fact, he just can't direct us to any actual regulation :-)

As previously stated, the transfer we did just recently was done at the LGS and the dealer I.D. the firearm - checked calibre, make, model, serial No. etc and that was that. Must have the original PTA.

Can anyone point me in the right direction, or link the form I need to fill out to transfer weapon ownership of my firearm to my father and his license?

All I can seem to find is Form 4E: Application for transfer of weapon(s) (Individual licence holders only—no change of weapons ownership)


Your Father needs to do a pta nominating whatever gun dealer you choose to do the transfer as the seller even though the gun is yours, when it comes in you and he go into your dealer with the gun and the dealer signs it off your licence and onto your fathers then you are done.
You can't transfer a firearm without going though a dealer even for a private sale or to give it to a family member.




As has been said above ya dad gets a pta with your details (not LGS) in the disposers section. When the pta arrives ya both go to the LGS they make sure the paperwork is correct and the firearm is what the paperwork says it is. Then they send off paperwork after charging ya a brokerage fee. :thumbsup: :drinks:

:lol: :friends: :drinks:


Sorry for the above misinformation, Daddybang is right, you are the seller not the dealer.
I did it the way i described last time because i bought a pair of pistols privately before i even put the pta in, so we threw them in my dealers name while we waited for it to come though so as not to muck the seller about, then from the dealer back to me once the pta came in.

Again sorry for the stuff up. And well saved Daddybang!! :drinks:
