But with that, we have always been allowed to have up to 3 of any one chambering for Cat B firearms without question, after which a letter outlining why you need more than 3 is required. This still applied as recently as July when I bought a rifle, It does not apply now according to the latest letter. All competition shooters are entitled by long standing agreement to have a comp rifle, a spare rifle, and a back up rifle, as I shoot a large number of comps I have a number of rifles so why would I want to spend $2000+ in fees, plus massive security upgrades, plus Local Council hassles to get a Dealers Licence? A very unhelpful and FUDD comment.You must be one of those who believe only YOUR type of shooting is valid, perhaps? Have a good day.

What is the cost of a Dealer Licence, do you have to send in reports and have regular inspections like dealers do, do you need security like dealers require? What donor parts can you not acquire without a dealer licence in Victoria?

I also said I put in 3 PTA's 2 for A classification that came through with no problems,
I am going to email them so I can get it in writing then it wont be seen as anecdotal

Yes more involved. But if you nominate it as a wholesale business and class 2. About $1200 for 3 years.
Also get the agent permit so you can act on behalf of another dealer.
The major consideration is not to trade as a retailer but wholesaler / agent.

so yea I still do not have a clue what the reason was for knocking me back at first except because they can

sungazer wrote:I haven't looked at any rules lately I just took what was being said here something about 10 centrefires. Dont you think though that when you go past a waypoint of sorts in the rules like the above 15 requires an alarm thing that they would come out to make sure you comply. The change of address certainly triggers an inspection to make sure you comply.
Not my idea just what we have to live with. I dont think the people that make the rules think that over 15 is any more dangerous either. I think the thinking behind it is more that if you are burgled that over 15 posses a bigger risk to the community than less than 15. My reasoning behind that assumption is the requirement for an alarm. It has nothing to do with the person that is licensed. It is about putting in place more security to stop guns getting into the wrong hands.

So What's the process then?
What kind of paper work do you to do? I'd seriously consider it, I've bought and sold quite a few firearms this year it might be worth it.
