Firearms Safety Course

[Wylie27]

The kind of retarded you only read about.. pointed the rifle at the instructor about 8 times while demonstrating safe handling..

Swept the classroom. Yeah they were that dumb

Exactly what I needed to know. I've managed to find a course in the next 2 weeks

So to summarise:

• You sent off your licence application and PTA together before you'd completed your safety course
• Then You rang around to find a safety course starting soonest
• The licence application started with to be processed but then put on hold pending completion of your safety course
• When you completed the course you sent the certificate to the DFO or whoever via email referencing your licence application

I recently emailed the DFO for my area and got a course time in early October, that's about an 8 week wait, which is a bit excessive IMO. So I might try calling around to different DFOs and book another course starting sooner, then cancel my original one.

I believe the trainers are volunteers. Believe it or not.
Would explain the long delays.

Yes here in Victoria in the Districtic I went to due to such low numbers in country areas . It was the LGS with the DFO the DFO only did an intro and helped mark papaers at the end. And belive it or not answer questions during the test. Yes help people during the test.

Yep same in qld. Course always starts with
"No one ever fails this course" and you can discuss the answers with others. Then they mark the papers and if you have an incorrect answer they give you the correct answer and allow you to change it. Its the only thing about firearm laws that I would like to see strengthened:thumbsup:
