I was hoping that each person who reads this could comment a few pros that there state has compared to others and then some cons (yeah I bet there are more of those) thank you. Some laws that may be pros are for example vic being the only state to allow 40 and above calibre pistols for target shooters. A con example is Tasmania having the ban of guns that look like a assault weapon. Thanks in advance

So that makes it a semi auto are they single action or double action never realy looked at them
Wonder when someone from WA will contribute a good law from there
or an air conditioner?

Yep yours, Victoria as your Commissioner has banned 12 firearms on “appearance”. As far as I know too date WA has officially banned one !!!
I agree with duncan61 and Rifle realist that if you have a genuine reason/need then there is really no issues obtaining firearms in WA.
I will also go as far as to say some of our eastern relatives would be surprised at what we are allowed to have that they aren’t, if you tick the boxes but I won’t let the cat out of the bag on a public forum.
The only downside is it can take a few weeks to obtain additional firearms but IMHO that’s not a major issue.
Transporting firearms and ammo only require that we take "reasonable" precautions and the Commissioner has indicated that a person being in a car etc is satisfactory. None of that QLD crap
But the problem we may now have is the new Labor Govt Minister seems to be ignoring the outcome of a recent Law Reform Commissions report and its recommendations on a new Firearms Act, which contained further positives, so who knows what may now eventuate.

iirc.... you can only posses ammunition for that which you are registered for. ie; You only have a .22 permit, so you can't have any centre-fire ammo, and if you have a .224 you can't have .338 ammo unless you have a permit for a rifle in that caliber...
We can loan and borrow firearms.
Only to licensed shooters of that calibre is what i was told at FSC...
We can't supervise unlicenced shooters except at a range.

I was informed unlicensed shooters 'can' be supervised...(that also meant AT ALL TIMES, and same as teaching your own kids is how it was put) ie; be their shadow while they have the firearm possession....
So much confusion eh?
