Queensland PTA waiting times?

[Gun nut.]

Anyone know the current time frame for a PTA at the moment? I guess in our current situation waiting times will understandably be longer. Cheers

Mate my last one took just under two weeks from submission to receipt in the gun shop.
That was a week ago mate.

Thank f that it's not just me. I summited on the
17th and am still waiting. I hope to get it before there is a lock down

[Gun nut.]

Mine has been 8 days so far, Cat A 22lr. Seems to be the luck of the draw.

Cheers,
Dave.

Unless it's your first PTA, that is how it should always be. Just what the Act and Regulations prescribe.

I recently put one in for Cat B
So far it's been 14 days and haven't heard a thing.
Whats the average for Cat B ???

Relax, it’s just the mandatory post pta application anxiety stage... it can be cured by going hunting or drinking but the two should never be combined in case of side effects ....7-21 days I reckon was about what I was seeing. But now we have covid weapons licensing are now going into slow mode , and u can’t ring them at the moment to sort out an issue. U can email them but an answer might be a long time coming .... on my recent licence renewal they tried telling me I have six rifles but I have seven so I had to set them straight ..... they are the law. They should be organised enough to dictate to me what I have in my safe but often we have to let them know what the reality is .........I saw something recently about surgeons in the USA accidentally leaving approximately 5000 items inside patients every year ,,,,,, so let us hope that number crunchers in weapons licensing stay put and never ever develop ambitions to seek a career change in hospitals

In the USA on March 20, the FBI processed over 210,000 background checks.
Just sayin'.

Does the FBI do them? Not the ATF?
I love American background checks(in the good states). Takes a matter of minutes. QLD has a licence system which you could argue is a pre background check. So it makes the PTA system a pure money grab and spying on how people are spending their money. If someone is not a criminal and approved to own firearms IE a licence holder than they should not need to ask permission to spend their money every time.
