Geez mate - spent much time on forums? Questions get derailed constantly...and ppl are going to post up their opinions, their circumstance, life lessons etc. your going yourself zero favours by responding like a cock.

I’d say you’ve been given all the advice you need to make a decision on what to do. If you can’t make an informed call, from what’s been said thus far....well maybe you do need to speak with Dr Phil.

You seem both volatile and temperamental Tom, insulting in one post, apologetic in the next and claiming piety, then back to the insults again.

You obviously do not like being told things you don't want to hear and react impulsively in response.

Personally, I am now quite comfortable with the prohibition placed on you, people who can't or won't control volatile impulses definitely should not have access to firearms.

In Victoria the intervention order bans you for five years from the expiration of the order, automatically. If the terms of the order ban you specifically from having a licence then, for all intents and purposes, it’s permanent with no appeal unless you get the terms of the intervention order changed.

If your order does specify a ban on firearms, when you go to get it altered so you can appeal, the magistrate is going to see a guy with a history of a domestic violence order and a succession of speeding offences asking for a gun. I don’t know whether you deserved the outcome (and I don’t really care) but that’s the reality. If you really want to go hunting your choices at this point are to limited - hire a lawyer or invest in a bow, and honestly I reckon you have better odds with the bow. But you might get lucky with the lawyer, who knows.

Unfortunately for you this is probably a bad place to ask. A few reasons.
The vast majority of members here have been deemed fit and proper persons and have their license, so they would not have knowledge on how to appeal ( Imagine a room full of teetotalers being asked how to fight a .05 drivers license ban.....).
Most agree with the need for restrictions on some people having access to firearms. These are enforced arbitrarily and may not always be just - but that is the system (and why there are lawyers, indeed there are specialists in firearms law).
There are people known as trolls who go on forums such as this and ask for someone to post information that may end up being harmful to shooters in general ( advise someone to do something illegal or ask how to commit an illegal act etc etc).
You have a certain amount of my sympathy, I would advise you to seek out a lawyer that specializes in firearms or be patient and let the clock run out.

This always happens when people don't give us the full picture, people reply to the info provided then slowly but surely we are given the full picture.

If you are entitled to appeal then do so, if not I guess you will have to wait until such time as you are entitled to re apply or appeal the decision.

Good luck with it all mate, doesn't sound like a great place to be but I know of a few people who are bringing up grankids due to their kids bad choices (drug habits) hopefully your daughter wakes up to her self sooner than later.
