Just to make you feel a bit better I am still waiting too I haven't heard anything applied on the 14th of June, last approval for a new category a and b that I know of was someone that applied on the 12th of June and got approval on the 8th of September.

How can these turkeys and the shooting organisation of QLD allow this Government Department continue to be called Weapons Licensing Branch.
A golf club is a weapon, as is a baseball or cricket bat.
FFS even the Department of Defence defines them differently.
A privately owned firearm is just that, not a fffing weapon.

Mate what was your genuine reason and the club/association that you listed out of interest?

I'd be calling them (WLB) and asking politely what is the story.

Grats :) :thumbsup:

and for the post :

I'm in Brisbane

I applied for A,B on 25/07/2017
ID check request came next day 26/07/2017
Did ID check at local station on 27/07/2017
PTA application went in on 14/08/2017
No word since.

I also applied for permission to join a pistol club at local station on 17/7/2017 (need this if you don't have an A,B)
"QP 0515 Statement of Eligibility to Join an Approved Pistol Shooting Club"
Received permission letter in post on 11/08/2017

So at least my 6 months waiting for H has started :) and I can shoot at local Pistol Club while i wait.

Looking at what people are saying around the club and gun shop it's taken about 3 calendar months for most and 4 for some

Having trouble getting my "character references" for Cat H. Do they need to specifically mention weapons license in the letter ?. As soon as I mention what it's for, they make excuses and decline.

It needs to say something like, I understand that Terrance will be joining a pistol club and that he will have access to pistols as part of his participation in competitive shooting.


It can't just say you're a good bloke. Because the person is essentially saying you are a fit and proper person to have access to a concealable firearm.

Seriously they need a computer program.
All info provided? Next stage
Does the applicant have a genuine reason? Next stage
Does the applicant have any conviction
If yes pass it on to a person for further details
If no maybe a person checks over it. then issue a licence.
Could all be done within a few minutes... frees up time. Even with thousands of applications

The only good thing about WLB at the moment is that they have sorted out PTA's, I remember when a PTA would take months, I submitted one on a Tuesday and got it faxed Friday. Just keep hanging in there mate!

I'm at just over two weeks and I had my ID check done within the first few days.

It's a long road ahead for me.

I’m still waiting for my first PTA
I did course 11th June. Did application online 14th June, Id check 15th June.
Did PTA in dealer shop on 25th July.
Finally heard from weapons licensing on 14th Sept and got license in mail 26th Sept.
Still waiting to hear from PTA, only put down bolt .22
Anyone did similar what I did?

Cheers
