The short version is - Am I as a licensed person able to supervise an unlicensed friend or family member, either at a range or on private property in Tasmania?
I am originally from Tasmania, but now live in Queensland, prior to moving I never possessed a firearms licence in Tasmania. I now hold a cat A+B licence in Queensland, but visit Tasmania regularly and I am able to use my fathers firearms while in Tasmania. In Queensland legislation it specifically allows a licensed shooter to supervise an unlicensed person at an approved range, so long as they meet the requirements to obtain a licence if they wanted one (no previous criminal history, fit and proper person etc.) and fill in the paperwork at the range. It also allows a licensed person to supervise a minor, either on a range or on private property, as long as the property meets the requirements. It does not actually specify if a licensed person can supervise an unlicensed adult on property, but that is a question for Queensland.
My question is, does Tasmania have any similar legislation either for or against this? I have done some reading on the 1996 Act, but in comparison to other states it is quite vague and I can't find anything specific to the situation.
I would like to know if I am able to supervise a friend who is considering getting a licence, but has not yet had the opportunity to try before he buys so to speak, as this would help him decide if he wants to go through the whole process himself. If I can't that's fine he can always have a go at the range when he's in Queensland next, I'd just like to know the answer and if possible, where it is specified in legislation, so I can cover my self.
