I'm looking at getting my licence and a rifle in near future for target and hunting.
Not sure if I even can in this over regulated country.
Im a pensioner and dont have a house due to the housing ponzi scheme. So I live in my car and have no fixed address...
Is it possible to get a license without a physical address. I just have an email address.
Can they deny me based on income and lack of resources to own or rent?
Thinking this might be bit hard but Im going to try.
Tips, advice and any experience appreciated!
Thanks

I know in QLD you have to provide your last 5 years of addresses for the background search though.
They don't ask about finances but being a vagrant or not having the financial means to support oneself could comeback on the background check and be be seen as not being a “fit and proper” person. A bloke got rejected for his pistol licence for being in a wheelchair.

He was keeping up his attendance and paying his membership, etc. In the end it was non compliance with storage requirements that they got him with.

1. Where you are as a gun owner so you can be kept tabs on where you live, and
2. Where your guns are kept most importantly so - 1. It's in an approved safe-storage place so others can't get at them, and
2. They know exactly where they are so they can come and take then off you if you step out of line in any of the ways they deem fit.
Not sure how thst applies to the OP.
Gun club reason? Property owner permission?
