The latest from Weapons Licensing QLD

[Mitch]

I have never had an issue. Perhaps those that have ring up being rude, and get the same in return

Does anyone know if a PTA has an expirey time. I bought a rifle on line while it was on special and applied for a PTA at the same time. The next day I get an order update saying that my rifle is on backorder. I don't know how long it will take to get here. Not looking for any hassles from Weapons Licensing QLD.

Did they end up extending it to 12 months???
I remember reading somewhere they were going to but never heard anything more about it.

A couple of years back they extended from 3 to 6 months. Hadn’t heard anything about another extension.

odd, i checked with a gun shop in qld not long ago and they said 12 months...looking at the police web site, it says:


If I have made an application for a Permit to Acquire since I acquired a weapons licence and have never used it, can I use the application at any stage?

Yes, an application for a Permit to Acquire never expires. However, once the Permit to Acquire is issued, it is only valid for a term of not more than 3 months as stated on the issued Permit to Acquire.

I have some pta's that havent used yet. They have 6 month expiry from date of issue. Got them a couple of months ago.

I know a really good way for them to become more efficient, get rid of the requirement to register firearms and PTA's, getting a shooters licensed or renewal would be much quicker.
