Nope.
A 'Permit To Acquire' is required for each and every firearm before a person takes possession of it.
Doesn't matter if it's from a store, private sale, bought, gifted or even inherited.

The rifle had no cover, and the bolt was in it. Nobody paid the slightest attention. Try that today and there'd be helicopters, SWAT teams and everything. You didn't need a license for anything except a handgun, and you hung your guns on the wall of your room, and your ammo in the sock drawer. But then, (pre 1965) things were a lot simpler.

Used to go camping a lot with a few mates, normally picked up few supplies on the way out friday night (the first late night shopping night here)
A mate saw a 12g Pump action and bought it spur of the moment.
We all had .22s but that was the first shotty in the group.
I still remember the size of the bruses![]()
