QLD weapons licencing waits

[benn1124]

licence arrived today in the mail 1 day short of 13 weeks all up...now to see if i can get weapons app to fax my ptas to my gun shop go get my guns

[yoshie]

I just got my A/B this week, submitted early Feb. Still waiting for my H. Mine were interstate transfers. If you call up they tell you not to until 14 weeks, and they'll call you if there's a problem. I called up at 15 week's and she said they were still processing December applications and to wait.

Just got my H

Old Lady just lodged hers as I type this lets see how long it takes from here!!!!!

Well I'll be a monkeys uncle!!!Her new shinny license arrived in the mail today

Wow 7 weeks in Queensland good to see something's have improved here for the better!!!

[kworse]

My Wife's was 2 days after she applied!!!!! Mine was so long ago I can't remember?????

I guess they improve in some instances and then are still painfully slow in others. Submitted mine online 14 weeks 5 days ago and still waiting. Haven't even had any queries from WLB (nor should it with a totally clean criminal record apart from 3 traffic fines for excess speed). When I contacted WLB last week they told me could be another 2-3weeks.

Ouchhh they might be playing the sexist card I don't know but it was 7 weeks to the day for my wife!!!!

[brisb]

Did she send in a provocative photo with the application to speed it up or something?

So that's the trick...

[hawkguy]

a fellow poster in another forum said it took him 7 weeks to get his new cat a/b licence (QLD) , applied on the 30/7/2014.

hmm....

we can only hope that they have managed to finally shift that gear stick into 2nd.

as for me i applied for a new weapons cat a/b licence on 27/08/2014 did my ID check a couple days later, hitting the 6 week mark right now.

18 weeks and still waiting. Nothing at the 12 week mark - after a follow up i got an id check notification a few days later. 3 weeks nothing - followed up (ignored). 4 weeks - another follow up - they actually responded this time. 1 week since last contact. Not holding my breath. Wouldn't surprise me if nothing happens for another few weeks, and when i contact them i'm ignored for another few weeks.

BAM!!! Spot on 8 weeks received my Cat A/B licence today in the mail, applied online 27/08/2014. Hopefully my gun store will have my PTA by the weekend

[lole]

Fun times ahead

[drewmd]

After a total of 16 weeks 5 days my QLD licence has finally arrived

Time frame was -
27/06/2014 - Application online. Immediate confirmation received
03/07/2014 - Request for ID check received
04/07/2014 - ID check completed at Police Station
22/10/2014 - Licence arrived in mail
There were not questions or queries from QLD weapons licencing during the process and neither should there have been given I have only ever received 3 speeding fines total.

Mine came on Tuesday, 8 weeks bang on. The 28 days on my first pta was up last Friday, hope it come through soon too.

I applied online on the 20/09/14. Received an email to do an id check 4 days later. It has just gone 5 weeks........

What part of Qld you from oz Turtle?

[Browning]

In my experience I've nothing but positive things to say about processing times.. My license (a while back now) only took about 3 months and every PTA I've had to do (after the first one which was almost exactly 30 days) has been turned around in 6-7 days...
I'm pretty sure as long as you fill in the forms both online (massively faster) and accurately it'll be processed fairly quickly.. I read a stat somewhere that something like 70% of forms have a mistake on them.. Explains some waiting times I'd say... Do it online and accurately and you'll be right..

God bless Victoria….land of the free.

Can't complain about ours much compared to the QLD and WA boys, that's for sure.

Hey guys new here, first post

Did my Safety course on Saturday, waiting for the Statement of attainment to show up then i can apply on line. Would love to have mine before the christmas break but by reading some of these posts i don't think that's going to happen lol

[Bourt]

Best of luck jas0n, maybe Santa will being you a surprise

[Ken]

Good luck with the timing. I see you got yourself a .243 for your first rifle there.

Good choice

[jas0n]

Thanks guys

Yes ken. Have purchased a 243 it's currently at the shop waiting so I can get my confirmation number then I can apply for the PTA. So hopefully everything will roll out together .

Anticipation only makes that first shot sweeter at least

[jas0n]

absolutely

[B7rendan]

Woo hoo! Guess what arrived in the post today! Bad timing with the g20 going on in Brisbane. It would be strange picking up a rifle today with all the security in the city lol

[stevy]

Ha ha.

[jas0n]

Received the Statement on friday, i was in rocky on the weekend so i got home yesterday and applied online. now the waiting game.
