Hey all, first post here and it has a bit of back story.
I'm currently deployed overseas with the ADF. Before leaving I went and paid for a rifle, filled out the PTA paperwork and left it with the shop to submit when I gave them the okay. The intent being to give them a couple of months notice so that I can walk in and pick it up as soon as I return.
Only problem is after I left, the Mrs decided she would like to pack the house up and move home for the remainder of the deployment. Returning a couple of months earlier than me (into a new house). I emailed the firearms SA branch informing them that I'm no longer at that address and would I would advise them on return of my new address, no problems there as I don't have any firearms registered to me and as such didn't have any stored at the old address.
I've just realised though that this might affect the PTA which I've already filled out. I can change my address via phone (presumably) after my wife moves into the new house, but then that will conflict with my details on the PTA when I ask the shop to submit it.
Also in that time between submitting the PTA and getting home. I obviously will not have had a chance to set the new safe up, so would hate for police to come and do a check of where the firearm is to be stored. Only to find that there isn't even a safe at that address yet.
Complex question, but if anyone has any suggestions I'd greatly appreciate any advise.
Cheers.
