BigD wrote:Hi all, long time lurker and finally have a question of my own to ask. Apologies if it's been covered previously, I couldn't see any related post but if there is please feel free to link it. I live in QLD, on a Cat A B license. I recently obtained my R to hunt in NSW. I'm wondering the law around weapons that may be classified differently between the two states. For example, being a Queenslander, I can have a Circuit Judge no problem on my Cat B. However, to the best of my knowledge you cannot purchase one in NSW (please correct me if I'm wrong here?). If I went on a hunting trip to NSW, would I be allowed to take my Circuit Judge or other possibly state restricted/'banned' weapons that are perfectly legal and licensed in QLD? Cheers, D.
No, you cannot bring a prohibited firearm into any state on a CatA/B licence.
In NSW I think the main difficulty is adjustable length firearms, overall length minimums, barrel length minimums, and magazine capacity. I'm sure there are other more specific prohibitions as well.
