Quick question
Are police denying applications due to COVID 19 and are there certain dates you can apply for your fire arm license. I’m wanting to apply for my category A or B in September when I turn 18.
Cheers

No, absolutely not. Application process has slowed down significantly due to manpower reductions as a result of Covid restrictions but LRD are absolutely not denying applications. Available dates for the Safety Course have reduced for the same reason, contact LRD or website for more info, but remember DFO's no longer exclusively co-ordinate courses and private organizations like Geelong Firearms Courses can run them, book early as places may be limited, Cheers.

I don't know in which state you are situated, but in NSW if you licence renewal has not been finalised by the due date on the licence itself after you have applied for the renewal and this renewal application has been acknowledged as received by FAR, you are still considered a valid licence holder until such time as FAR has issued the renewal. I don't think this situation has changed.
