PTA QLD - Permit To Acquire Queensland processing time

[kworse]

Hi all does anyone know the current pta processing times for QLD

[PaWNTANK]

If its your first one then you're looking at 4-6 weeks at the moment, my brother just got his first one after a 5 week wait here in QLD. Mine usually take about one week, sometimes a little more or a little bit less. Unless you're trying to acquire something that requires further justification. eg .338 Lap, .408 CT etc.
What are you looking at getting?

[kworse]

Just a lever action 22 should have to wait too long because they have revived the notice of disposal from my first firearm

[PaWNTANK]

Yeah I wouldn't imagine too long if that's the case.

[Mr.x]

28 day wait if it's your first, 10 if you have purchased before

[Norton]

A week+ seems standard at the moment.

[coroboreeboy]

Late last year, I put in a pta for a revolver that took 7days. Put in another on 9th January this year, came back on 17th February.

[Releb]

I sent one Thursday last week.

Will keep you updated too.

My last one I put in at 10:30....I was damn well furious, I had to WAIT UNTIL 2:30!!!

sorry, had to do it yes, its VIC, land of the 'as good as it gets' firearm licensing wise....

But considering we in VIC have recently been blessed :crazy: with the return of the commie government (AKA the Reds, AKA the socialists, AKA Labor party, AKA did they really vote for these tools) ; Lets see how long it takes them to start 'fixing' the firearms licensing regime in VIC, speaking of which, I heard a rumor that you guys in sunny/windy QLD also got a recent bout of the 'reds'

Outrageous! Write a letter to your local parliament member complaining!

[Tindog]

ordered and applied on Monday and pta pre approval wed, however have to wait the 21 day so 20 april it will be ready

[PaWNTANK]

What's the wait at the moment? Just submitted two today. Am I in for a 3-4 week wait or can I expect it in the next week or two?

[Tindog]

if you have no waiting time for a new licence, Id expect an email saiying its approved in a day or two.. how did you go ?

[PaWNTANK]

A day or two? What! I've never gotten one back within a week. They must have fixed their s**t.

[Gregg]

Or booted the anti that got a job there and was holding everything up.

[PaWNTANK]

Man you weren't kidding, got the first pre-approval on the 24th and the second one yesterday. Now I have to camp around the mailbox waiting for the physical copies to show up, guess that'll take another week.

[whert]

You get a pre-approval then have to wait for a permit?

What's the pre-approval for then?

[PaWNTANK]

Yeah I don't even know, I got one back in the mail today but not the other. Same class (A) and both lodged at the same time.

[Octane]

What's the pre-approval for then?

Inconvenience.

[Barrettmr]

4 days approval for cat A. First one, so still have to wait for the 28 days.

[Wes]

Everywhere just needs to get on the VIC system having them submitted online so they just hit the button and it goes back in a few hours.

Name a business that still relies on snail mail these days

QLD Weapons Licencing

Of course every QLDer knows that we can get same day PTA's, it's true you know.

Reality, it's in the Act/Regs. WLB wants everything to go though them directly and so bulls#%t everyone into believing that is what you have to do.

So how do you obtain a PTA in one day when you have to go through the WLB for it to be approved. A tad lost on this one.

I think the sarcasm just hasn't come across in his post mate.

No sarcasm. The Act/Regs do not specify that you have to apply to WLB directly for a PTA, or that PTAs are only to be issued by WLB, for example;

38 Issue etc. of permits to acquire
(1) A person, other than an authorised officer, must not issue, endorse or alter a permit to acquire.

41 Inquiries into application
(1) Before the application is decided, an officer in charge of police or authorised officer with whom an application for a permit to acquire is lodged may—

56 Waiting period for decision on application for permit to acquire
(1) This section prescribes the period for section 42 of the Act.
(2) The period is 28 days after the day the applicant lodges the application for the permit to acquire the weapon.
(3) However, if—
(a) the applicant already holds a firearm under a licence; or
(b) an authorised officer is satisfied there are exceptional circumstances; the period is the remainder of the day on which the applicant lodges the application for the permit.

The question you need to ask is 'Who is an authorised officer'. The answer to that is also in the Act/Regs, you just need to look.
