It does sound then as though the club has overstepped it's requirements. The regulations only mention handguns.
I question why a club needs to keep more records on firearms than what is legally required. What benefit can come out of it? (Just like our current registry - it seems as though the potential for abuse is far greater than any benefit - especially if it's not legally required).
Yep. I'd be steering well clear of these clubs. All you need to record in Tas, as a club, is Name and licence number of members. Dunno about handgun clubs but for rifles, this is all. As a club executive member, i wouldn't want the responsibility of being liable for any further sensitive info...
