Quick pta turn around Qld

[Blr243]

For those wondering about the wait at the moment I got my email approval in 6 days. I spose it’s 10 14 days after that it will arrive in the mail. No complaints from me

[No1_49er]

Yep, they're pretty quick these days.
Applied for on 25th arvo, advised 09:30 today approved - faxed to dealer. Monday a pub hol so 2 and a bit days seems OK to me.
Doesn't get much better than that, in Qld.

[Windston]

That's nothing! I applied for it on Saturday, Australia day, and got the approval less than 24 hours later on Sunday!

A Sunday!!!

I once bought something on eBay in the morning and it turned up in the afternoon. I really don’t know how that happened.

Anyone have an idea of how long it normally takes for them to fax the PTA to the dealer after your 28 days wait is up for your first firearm?

I received an email saying its approved already.

With 314 Authorised Officers spread amongst the 5 police regions and 15 police districts of QLD there is no lawful reason you should not have a PTA in hand the next day, as prescribed in the Act.

My last PTA took 7 days. 3 days later it was faxed to dealer = 10 days total.

Yeah thanks mate. My 28 days was up on a friday and PTA turned up on the monday. So pretty happy about it actually.

I am so jealous. Applied on 24 Jan (not first PTA), and still in process....man.....I am in NSW btw.

[JimTom]

Submitted PTA 1230 Friday, recieved it back by email at 1020 this morning, Monday.
Is that some kind of record? Well done to the Weapons licensing branch for being so efficient. Double thumbs up from me.

Well they must be on a Go Slow again.
They received my application on the 26/03/25 and here we are 23/04/25 and still nothing. I am getting it sent direct to the dealer as well.
Its nothing serious they would be concerned about as its a Pedersoli copy of a Confederate Capping Breechloader used in the Civil War.

[yoshie]

Yeah I had a 9mm pistol take 2 1/2 months at the start of the year

What drugs were you smoking Mate ?

Just joking. But yes, that was Amazing

Well I finally gave in and phoned them. After await of 45 mins listening to a lot of useless info and canned music I got through to someone.
It sounded like an Indian Call Centre. He had to keep going away and asking someone. He said the Firearm was an antique and I needed different paper work. I tried to explain it was a Pedersoli replica of an antique that I wanted to shoot. He could not get his head around that and I found the accent hard to understand and I was finding it hard to keep my cool. After 30 mins of this getting nowhere he said they would email me more paper work to complete and send back.
I had no problem with the Pedersoli replica of the Gibbs muzzle loading target rifle I got a few months back so why this?
