Yeah, me too. I got the same email.
i've got a email from the fella who runs the big game comp at ripley QLD who's said the same as wapati , that pta approval is for one class of shooting only , sports at the range or recreational . not both .pending approval....i reckon the fella running the comp would know . i know for a fact one of the guys in that comp needed a letter from the club for a rifle , and he's currently state champ in that class . i'm a ssaa member but i don't trust the leadership of the club . which is why i'm a shooters union member and support politics reloaded . step up now fellas as wapati has suggested . for the cost of a carton of beer membership to a shooting advocate group otherwise WA type restrictions are going to spread if changes to weapons licensing go unchallenged . act now
That may not be consistent with the Gun Laws . Your supposed to be able to practice at a range so you can be a proficient and safe recreational shooter . Putting a restriction of only one class of shooting on a PTA for a certain caliber goes against that part of the Act . Get lawyers onto it and take the Police commissioner to court . He can only make extra regulations that are consistent with the Act .
The law states that only category A firearms do not require a genuine need be provided. All other categories a need must be provided. In the past category B was just rubber stamped but now things are starting to change.
