Your posts of cut and pasted info that has little relevance to the topic strikes me as the tactics of lots of spammers I had to deal with on another forum...

Just look at all his earlier posts. Sounds like a police officer or anti. Just quotes regulatory requirements.

On other forums spammers use this tactic to build a post count, then they come back later on and edit in their garbage links to all their posts spread throughout the forum. As they rarely read or write English, cutting and pasting is the only way they can post at all.

I think you can in some states with a doctors note. Can only be used on a range though.

I believe that’s the case in Queensland

And Victoria, it's an option for me due to my shoulder.

Not that I'm aware of. It's a specific medical exemption for clay target shooting only, not hunting or recreational shooting. The law does allow us to "practice" on private property in Victoria without restriction on categories of firearm, but it has been shown that CatH is an exception to that rule. I don't know if the same rule applies to a CatC shotgun held purely for competition.

I was joking when I posted the M14 comment. I seem to recall from my firearms coarse that the semi auto shotty’s have a fixed magazine capacity of two shots as well . I could be wrong but .....

Fit has nothing to do with physical fitness, whoever told you that is an idiot. Fit means a person regarded as fit to hold a firearm licence.
