Sucked in to him, hopefully he was told the refusal was because he's a complete tool.
No doubt he'll help a lawyer or 3 buy a few houses and cars trying to fight it... sucker

agree 1000% .

I don't know who he is but I don't see the reason to gloat on the issue. We need more licence holders not less. If he is not a criminal then I don't see why he should be denied.

Actually the other blokes are right on this one. He is guilty of the crime of being an absolute tool. He’s one license holder we don’t need.

Well if what you say is true I'd say at least 30% of licence holders should lose their licence from what I've seen over the last 40 years as far as I'm concerned this is nothing more than bulshit from the cops trying to gain more public support for their draconian meaningless gun laws .
Being an ass clown is not a crime ever turned the television on lately .

Personally I don't care about his moronic comments and apparently bigoted heartless attitude towards the disabled, he is a "media identity" and sometimes controversy is part of the trade whether it is really "him" or not. I do care that he is personal friends and close associates of several major underworld figures and on that basis alone should not have a firearms licence the same as many others have been denied for the same reason. Either consorting is OK, or it is not. If it is OK then many family members who have bike club brothers, fathers, sons etc. should not have been denied a licence either.

Associating with complete dirtbags , brings you down sooner or later ... that’s not an opinion. It’s a fact. .. an opinion would be ,.this ..... personally I can’t see him crawling thru wet cold vegetation in the Victorian high country looking for sambar, or getting thru a barbed wire fence in the dark with an Adler on a pig hunting trip near Burke with dry galvanised burr in his socks

[bigrich]

kyle is a ego tripping f@ckwit . we do not need the likes of him as a fellow firearms licsence holder . i don't mind jackie-o however

[womble]

Nsw is on an anti gun bender atm .
They’re just using a high profile figure to send a message. Set an example.
Political, leading up to federal election.
They dumped Gladwrap bbqchicken because she supported a gun club with funding. Replaced her with a zealot conservative crusader. They’re going in hard on guns and crime. They dont separate the two.

I’m not a fan of Kyle. But its his job to be an idiot. He’s a professional idiot and people tune in to that. I have zero idea what hes really like irl as a person.
I hope he wins his case.
I dont think he has a lot of friends, or apparently not good friends. And if hes interested in target shooting at a club I’ve no doubt our community will make him very welcome to join in.

He has a following,
He’s pro gun.
He should have our full support.
Don’t judge him if you dont know him.
I believe hes allready a member of a pistol club in as probationary period. Let them be the judge.

[disco stu]

I'm not fully down on the pistol side of things, but it says he already has what I assume is a probationary pistol licence. Wouldn't this mean he already has cat a and b licence? I thought that was needed first of all.

It also states he has been denied purchasing a rifle. Does this mean he has had PTA denied rather than licence itself?

I don't like the way he carries on in his show on air etc. I agree he is a tool, and seems to have made a point of cutting people down for show. But then I guess that is his brand. He isn't the only one you see that sort of thing from. I don't like it, or agree with it, but don't feel is right to deny licence or pta because of it

Many people believe an actor's 'on screen' persona is the same as his real life persona.
Similarly radio personalities.
However your diagnosis of what's behind NSW's current 'go hard on gun owners' may be somewhat flawed.
My information is that the state government via the police minister issued an instruction to the police during the various lockdowns to strictly enforce all laws and regulations without any individual discretion for leniency particularly where fines may be involved.
Let's hope things might change under the proposed new police minister.

Nope you don't have to have Cat A/B to obtain Cat H.

If all you want is pistols, then obtaining Cat H is all you need.

[Communism_Is_Cancer]

Each licence is seperate and having one does not mean you can have another. I know a bloke who only has cat D(farmer). In QLD you have to tick each category individually. He only ticked the D box so his licence just has a D on it. So he can only lawfully possess cat D firearms.

Sounds bizarre but the whole law is bizarre in my opinion.

[Robin]

Kyle being a public personality could be good or bad for firearm owners , if he wasn't a complete fool then he would be great, however having him being the fool he is, will only be bad .

There are many horrible gun owners, however, many of them are not in the public eye.

[Communism_Is_Cancer]

Why is he so horrible? Has he raped or killed people? Has he committed violent crimes? Is he ISIS? The law does not equate to a popularity contest. He is either a criminal or he is not.

[Blr243]

If you were a fit and proper person would you be associating with a major drug dealer ? Or would you just be hanging out with bobby the lawn mower man down the road, or Tim the soccer coach ?

I think Tim is being investigated for child abuse, and Bobby for B&E

[Blr243]

Well bugger me. I had no idea. They should not be allowed to have guns either

Correct. The checks and balances we have as far a firearm licensing, imo, are pretty fair. Yes things can go wrong, but it appears not very often. As much as CIC would love to hand out firearm licences to anyone he deems fit, I am glad he is not the one doing so. The powers that be are the ones in charge, good, bad or indifferent. It is, at present the best we have. If certain people want to change it then go for it, and bloody good luck trying. It would appear that empty vessels do make the most sound.

If you knew who Kyle Sandilands was you'd know why everyone is gloating.
Yes we need more licensed shooters, but it's Kyle Sandilands - Knob of the century

[on_one_wheel]

Perhaps somewhere out there he's created a profile on a shooting forum and started a thread "denied firearms licence"
Sucked in Sanders, that's what you get for hanging out with lowlifes and carrying on like a douche bag

[womble]

Oh come on thats just being mean.
He lives in the US most of the time anyway. So if he wanted to shoot people he’s had plenty of opportunity.
It’s just some cop on a power trip being a dick because he can.

Besides its Christmas. Don’t be a grinch

[Shootermick]

Maybe he wants his gun license so that he can join Bangwhizzcrack’s commune??

Wise words of wisdom tiger . Worthy of being in Aesop’s fables

[Blr243]

Sleep with dogs and wake up with fleas , I wanna be in Aesop s fables too

[straightshooter]

I don't get it.
So the refusal for the licence is due to Mr. Sandilands alleged association with a "known drug dealer", then why isn't the "known drug dealer" in goal?

Rotfl that was good
