So I'm a NSW handgun shooter waiting for my full licence to get authorised (within the next month hopefully), but a few months ago I put down a deposit on a pistol at a Victorian dealer, then eventually decided to just buy it outright so I wouldn't have to worry about someone else grabbing it. This was all before the pandemic lockdowns and Victorian dealers got f***ed over and closed down.
Now would I be right in presuming, that if the dealers are still closed by the time I get my PTA issued so I can get the pistol I already bought, I'd still have to wait for dealers to be allowed to operate before we can complete the purchase and transfer ownership and transfer to NSW?
