There seems to be a backlog again, been waiting 2 weeks so I called, they can’t explain why some get approved within 24 hours and others takes weeks. But the “good” news was it should be processed in about a weeks’ time…

There's no logic to it, I put in a Cat A shotgun PTA on Tuesday 6th July at around 5:59pm, got the email approval at 6:02pm the following day and the email PTA itself was at the dealer the day after that and I collected my new shotgun on the Friday.

My last 4 PTA’s were approved 24-26 hrs after lodging them . My last one was for a 45-70.
Dunno why, but they seem to want me to buy more guns :D

I put a Cat B in on 20th of August and still haven't heard. That's 4 weeks and counting. I'm afraid to call in case they push me back to the bottom.

The private seller is probably getting impatient too.

I spoke with my shop about wait times while waiting and they said its all over the place, some come back in a day or two and others are like they are at the bottom of the magazine pile in the toilet somewhere.

So I buckled and rang Weapons Licensing today.
Apparently it was approved a week ago but I never received the email and the gun shop didn't call me either.

So I rang the dealer, paid the balance and it should be in the post.

Hi All, I put my pta in on the 15 of September for a Cat B and still waiting 25th October, called them last month but was told there were an overwhelming amount of PTA’s lodged an it’s in the cue, I’ve never waited this long ever and own a few Cat A an B rifles, guy I spoke to on phone said that it wasn’t far away from being approved but I’m starting to wonder if it’s been pushed to the bottom after my call, I was friendly enough to them an only making an inquiry

Forward the relevant details to Shooters Union, they may be able to assist you.

Also, politely worded complaints sent to your local state Member, the Police Minister and the Police Commissioner can often nudge things into moving forward again.
