Cheers bud am happy emailed that PTA’s are approved, spoke to gun shop today and they have the pta so as soon a license comes I go get my la101


Addz I’d just bolt it to the floor and have a gap like I do, but would start a thread to try get more info, maybe with some photos so people can see what you mean and give you a hand

How big have you got your gap dagda the rest of the floor is level it's just all the corners. I just would have much preferred bolting it to the ground and wall but the floor will be fine its pretty tucked away in a locked cubboard with storage boxes surrounding it. It's gunna be a nightmare come storage inspection time unlocking 2 padlocks to the cupboard then moving all the boxes out to final be able to get to the safe hahah

My wife is somewhere between me and you so I'll update when she gets her email

As for your safe mine is only bolted to the floor. The is what the brochure form Qld Police says:

'it must be securely fixed to the frame or floor of a
permanent building'

I got a PTA back at lunchtime today that I put in lunchtime yesterday (sunday). Thats right, the PTA took less than 1 business day to get approved.Crazy.

Also, I noticed that the PTA online form process may have changed. I'm pretty sure the last time I put one in a month or so ago it said they would fax it to the dealer. Now it says they will email it. Weapons licensing coming into the 2000's!!!!

I got my email check 10 days after submitting my application. I'm going in tomorrow to do it so that will be exactly two weeks after I submitted my application.
Is there any correlation between when you do your ID check and when you get the licence?

If I'm correct, and correct me if I'm wrong the license cards don't even get made in QLD they get posted to qld from somewhere eles so I would say to howaman it might and will be a bit of a wait to receive it in the mail as there not coming from brisbane wao. but in saying that it does mention a 10-14 waiting period and if you don't include weekends cause the mail doesn't get delivered on weekends you'll still be looking at around the last week of the month or even before howaman keep me updated on how you get on

Whats the chances of actually being turned down for a new weapons application if you have no criminal history etc. but only have small traffic violations including a previous drink driving charge that resulted in going to court? Anyone on here been turned down for something in that nature or similar? I putt a application in on the 7/6/19 so only afew days ago with a Pta on the 10/6. Hopefully i will get it already have a nice .308 in mind but hoping for the best outcome.

bah wrote:Hi there,

Apologies in advance for adding another post on wait times for new category A/B license and PTA wait times, but I just noticed that the other thread had become quite long and somewhat outdated. I am reaching out to the community to gauge as how long processing times have been for recent successful applicants.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers! :drinks:

I thought, at the time, that your new post creating a quarterly section for queries regarding wait times was sensible.
I took the opportunity to create a second one, Apr - Jun, which I haven't seen anybody use.
Maybe I'll re-post, and try and get it started again.

Congratulations Howa man, could you post a summary of the key dates for applying, ID checks, email notification and license receipt etc. It will save anyone form having to scroll back through the thread to work out how long it all took for you. I'm only a month in from applying online so not even half way through yet.

Your friend can buy a firearm from a registered dealer but only up to the point of paying for it, the dealer will then store it until he has the license and PTA. Purchase from a private seller should also be possible but the firearm will again need to be held by the brokering dealer for the next 3 months or so.

Might seem like a stupid question.

Did a PTA for a 22lr and got the approval email. Is this enough to go and take ownership of the rifle or am I also waiting for something to be mailed?
