QLD weapons licencing waits

[nords]

Canberras pretty good, every thing takes 28 days exactly.

I'd be perfectly happy with that.

I understand the purpose of a waiting period, but just be up front with people about it.

Don't leave people in limbo for months.

[benn1124]

i rang them the other day and was told their at about the 12 week mark now

[Blu333]

12 weeks for licence wait is pretty standard in QLD, then my first PTA took 29 days, now every PTA I have put in lands in my letter box in 5 business days. Which I don't think is that bad.

Tell them to put down the coffee and donut and do some paperwork

[benn1124]

[brisb]

They said as much in an announcement recently.

New processes, new staff etc. to speed up the process.

Dear Applicant,

I refer to your recently lodged application for a Weapons Act Licence; initial checks reveal you have provided the requested supporting documentation with your online application.

Assessment is yet to be conducted on your application or the suitability of the content of this supporting documentation. Weapons Licensing may still request further information from you to support your application or your suitability to hold a Weapons Act Licence.

A part of the application process is to provide proof of your identity. This is to be completed by 2 September 2014.

This was less than 24 hours since logging onto QWL sight!!!!! Now I know she's suss!!!!LOL

maby they have sped things up, iv got a friend who lodged his application 2 days after me will see when he gets a response hopefully it should be this week if not next.

[benn1124]

and my email to go do the id check was completly different to the one you have there too

[aekpani]

I have submitted my application on 22nd April 2014, got my Cat A/B Lic on 4th of Aug 2014 (issue date on the letter is 30-07-2014).

I have submitted my PTA exactly after 7 days of my weapon lic application and received it exactly after one week of my lic.

I had to send the PTA back for amendment, to change the dealer's name, and I am waiting for a response.
I hope this helps.

What's the ID check you guys are talking about? I don't remember having to do any of that when I go my license up there.

[Vati]

You must have a trustworthy face and they didn't bother

[benn1124]

What's the ID check you guys are talking about? I don't remember having to do any of that when I go my license up there.

just where u go to a police station with 100 points of ID to confirm you are who you say you are

Thanks for that mate, I can't remember having to do that, probably did just can't remember doing it - old timers!

[benn1124]

Hey Scott when you got yours like me you would have submitted it at the cop shop so they did it when you submitted your paper work these days you do it on line and so you have to front to prove your not some kind of !!!!!!

[Noisydad]

Car dealerships can handle vehicle regos these days. Cant imagine why LGS's couldn't do our stuff.

[jays]

Completely pointless isn't it.

They're licensed to hold thousands of guns, but can't sell one to a licensed shooter without some pencil pusher miles away looking at a screen and ticking a box.

Such a pointless hurdle at the end.

[benn1124]

The government just wants to feel important and be part off the process.

[riggee]

That's what they're for, to get in our way.

[PaWNTANK]

Howdy Guys/Gals, I completed my WAO on the 14th of July and got the email that requested my 100 points of ID be presented to a police station yesterday. Which I completed. So I hope to see my licence in the next month sometime.
My question is, what is the general wait on PTAs at the moment? After the mandatory waiting period of course.
I took my time rifle shopping and lodging my PTA's thinking it would take at least 3 months for weapons licencing to get back to me.
I was wrong

[Westy]

PTA's about 5 working days at present just got 2 this week in the mail, I see they have changed there on line process again!!!!Bloody Awesome their getting it right at last great work Weapons licensing!!!!
