A Win Here in QLD

[trekin]

With apologies to Blackened, but I think this news is a bit too good to be missed by readers who may skip over it in the now confusing jumble of the combined threads on LGS closures;

Great news ! Hopefully all shooters can have their freedom back soon . Still no word on a QLD PTA for me after 4 weeks.

Woke up and saw that this morning too, great news.

There's the link for anyone who wants to read it.

Also a line to note in the release is "A licensed dealer may dispose of firearms to individuals who hold Permits to Acquire issued prior to 28 March 2020."

I'm reading this as anyone who has a current permit, as it's listed outside of the scope of the OC and RE conditions.

Thats great news...!!!

So where do the SSAA fit in here...?

And will the SSAA do a press release thanking you...?

I suspect SSAA QLD are, at this very moment, writing up a release taking all the credit.

very happy to hear this good news

good on the qlders for putting in the effort

Yes but I just don't understand why this and future representations are not joint efforts. To my way of thinking presentations by all shooting, hunting and fishing groups would have far more clout.

I wouldn’t call it a win, this effects a small minority of shooters, the vast majority are still unable to access what there current firearms licences should allow them. A better result would have been to tell them to shove their token offer and demand a full repeal. This is typical Divide and conquer tactics and this how they will undo and ultimately band shooting sports.
