Semi auto rules

[rsj223]

I was told that I can get a semi auto because of my elbow-shoulder injury it must be affecting my eyes as well because I cant find any info on how to go about it.
So can anyone point me in the right direction please.

Download a Cat C Shotgun permit application from the VicPol website, get your doctors certificate and follow the instructions on the form. Your shotgun club secretary should be able to help you further, Cheers.

Thanks for that, I just couldn't find what I wanted.

Speaking of... I wonder, are there any restrictions, like say only loading two at a time at a clay range or taking it hunting? Assuming permit granted based on medical reasons/injury?

From what I understand it cant be used for hunting only to be used at club/range shooting.

If you are shooting clay I think you can only load 2 rounds, if that is your genuine reason that is all you can do with it, if you want to hunt as well you need to buy another shotgun because you cannot be trusted to use a semi auto that could turn you into a mass murdering terrorist.

If you are a primary producer you cannot shoot clay with your Cat C as that is only licensed for your property, you have to buy another shotgun if you want to shoot clay.

These gun control nuts are really on top of it.

Make us buy twice as many guns

Hoplophobe logic at its usual level.

Fine... But only because I have to

Whilst this is a great video, it takes a gun importer to explain the nonsense we now put up with and not our representative organisations. Why?

Sure, its in the importers interest for business reasons. Without that importer, we'd have sling shots. Nope, not associated with the business other than spending zillions over the years on the guns and gear they import.

Can you honestly say for example "Yep, the SSAA is really looking after us."

My point being, where's media unit of our representatives and why aren't they buying media time and constantly reminding the non shooters that we aren't unregulated gun nuts, waiting to unleash the arsenals.

I've seen many times, representatives at gun shows, competition matches etc wandering around wearing their "VIP Jackets" and their accompanying wives/partners/girlfriends etc going on wine tours.....? Can't see how that helps us, but, if I ever need to know about a nice bottle of red, I know who to call. Golf courses too.....

After spending alot of time reading the numerous posts & topics on this website, I've come to a few conclusions:

1. Our representatives are doing sweet FA in regards to media exposure. Nothing about safe shooting programs or the benefits of being involved in a great sport
2. We need new representatives who are worried about us and not their flash jackets or stipends they receive or golf trips. Shooters Union?
3. If you aren't interested in the long term future of our sport (how many new ranges have been built recently?) then bugger off with your VIP jackets and let others look after our interests. There's so much vacant land near to where I live, that you could easily build 100 x 1500m target ranges. This land won't be built on (subsidence), but, is within easy reach of Sydney metro.
4. The new representatives need to be concerned with all shooting sports. No more vertical silos of each shooting fraternity. We are fractured at the moment and have been for years. You've got people who don't give a hoot about target handguns, but foam at the mouth in excitement at trap shooting. That's fine, but, represent ALL OF US.

The general public isn't going to purchase any magazines and read the Editorials of how much work our representatives do.

We need representatives that aren't afraid to engage with the media, push OUR AGENDA and not their own.

Apologies for ranting, but, after nearly 42 years of playing with guns, I've had enough of the inability of our representatives to keep the idiots (Gun Control etc) out of the media with the ridiculous assertions, portraying LAFO as lunatic gun hoarding mobs (those recent articles identifying where gun owners are located) and the general "head in the sand" approach our representatives are taking.

I know that some individuals have been in the media recently, but, why no constant streaming of positive media material instead of having to argue everytime a journo writes a horrid story about us?

They certainly have the coin or is that reserved for the nice jackets and wine tours?

[Title_II]

Just great. We won't export anything (except to terrorists) and you won't import anything (except for actual terrorist migrants).

I can not.

Funny you mentioned this.
The other issue here that LAFO community is split between a few silos. Rewording the old joke:
- What would happen if a Australian LAFO would be estranged on an inhabited island?
- He(she?) would found two(three) political parties. Then vote for one and hate the other one.


I mentioned creating a some sort of coalition in one of "other" forums and got full shovel of proverbial in my face for it.
People are too comfortable joking how stupid Greens are...
But how many of us would not hesitate to tell people that we do love our firearms, and we do hunt?
So every time when ordinary people hear about firearms they would think about their good colleague, neighboure or school mate instead of those imaginary scary bogans with guns.

ya, we wont import anything, but we certainly will export, or more correctly 'be a party to' and cause the delivery of several/many pallet loads of automatic rifles (AK47/74??) and WHO knows how many hundreds of thousands of accompanying rounds of ammunition to various alliances of desert dwelling tribes, or to be honest, WHOEVER gets there first after eyeballing a low flying C130......ass open.....

To be honest, its an effing disgrace that the mere common Australians (you and I) can not even own a single shot air rifle for DEFENCE.... yet our government delivers automatic arms and ammo for...... sorry, what was the reason?? to the middle east... for 'democracy' or some BS.... we should have protested in the streets just over this hypocrisy... I guess MKR or Idol was on that night perhaps...

Your point wasnt really clear..... maybe its a bit late for me....

NIOA = Smart.

Greens and Antis = Dumb
