Getting a firearms license without a fixed address

Post by dingo007 » 11 Apr 2025, 4:00 pm

Hi all,

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 don't know if you require an address for the licence but you will likely require an address you can give as your normal storage address, but I guess that could be a gunshop if you want.

My gun club had a member who travelled alot in a camper van, he was retired. The police refused his renewal because he hadn't been in the state for a few years. 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.

You need to be a resident in the state your applying for and the only address that is needed is for your secure storage location, which does not need to be where you live.

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.

your right there . the australia i remember was great . now we've got a population of mostly suburban/ city bound, entitled individuals, who seem to think because they've got the morale high ground in their own heads, they can enforce their views and opinions on others . and public servants who abuse their position by imposing their personal opinions as well, instead of upholding peoples rights and freedoms . :thumbsdown:

Australia we new and loved is gone and is never coming back. It is a hell hole and is getting worse So just extract as many resources as you can from the system to give a good life for your kin.

The basis about all this for the cops is about control - the cops need to know
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?

That's my problem too, car licence even hard to renew in this corporate fascist dictatorship. Beyond a joke and a basic attack on our freedoms...

I have financial means, I just don't support Ponzi schemes and corporate housing scams, but that's our criminal government fascist system and indoctrinated slaves. Just a note, the database is so they can commonder your guns and anything they what in the state of emergency acts they illicitly enacted in covid... practice some might call it. We have NO legitimate government! Its a bit of a bad joke honestly, I can buy a black market gun today but prefer not too of course

Australia is just a corporate name for our land. We have been infiltrated via corporate mafia and most are complicit and ignorant sadly. Australia is great away from towns, will never change. We just need all these Gestapo and slaves to stop taking our rights, we need to learn our rights first too. Under our constitution it is our right to bear weapons and NO government or corporation can deny us. Like our freedom to travel, we shouldn't need to ask for permission(passport) is so sick and sinister what's going on. Our parliamentary house is just a masonic Lodge, look on Google maps, goat worshippers? Hence can't legally occupy our original parliament house, I worked for the grubs when I was fresh out of uni indoctrinated and ignorant. I can't work for criminals destroying our family, friends and people of our country. Don't get me started, I could write a book or 3
