How to get a Cat A B C D H M R collectors licence: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nZ6DgdKkva6-ops.html

Getting my cat d here in nsw was one of the hardest things I've ever done. The scrutiny, the waiting, the cost, the waiting, the permits, the waiting. ... damn it was a pain in the arse. Then getting screwed over by one of the biggest firearms dealers in the country because he was too lazy to order what I paid him to order and then having to screw around with the attorney general for two more months trying to fix the problem drove me insane. If you're trying to get into cat d just for the guns then you will fail. You have to be serious about setting the business up. Also if you think you're gonna make millions you're kidding yourself. It's good work but SOOOO regulated. Good luck to anyone trying to set it up though. Also if you're in nsw/vic or anywhere really give Rob Ripa at The Victorian Armoury a call and he'll help you with your guns. I found him after I got screwed over by a company that shall remain nameless and he's the real deal. He's a bloke just like any other but he runs a small business and runs it well, plus he really knows the laws.

As another Qld shooter its great to see someone getting on the internet and passing on knowledge. Cheers mate, you're doing us a great service.

That is interesting, I never looked into what you had to go through to get a AR in Australia. I live in the U.S. and it takes me about 10-15 mins to pass a background check, and that's because I have a unique name. It is alway's interesting to find out what it is like in other countries.

Having a semi auto on same conditions as a cat H license would be great. Enjoyed my semi auto at the range before 96. Too much government b.s. now. Great informational video, thankyou.

Mate you are a champion among men. You're True Blue. God bless ya! Keep the faith.

Red tape, red tape and more red tape. This country drives me insane sometimes... Good video though

This video sure did save you a lot of time repeating the same thing! The police website doesn't explain very well how to acquire a Cat D licence, so this video really will help a lot of people!

might as well just move to America

I agree, the new hat looks good... Cheers from Tasmania

Vic here, friends' boss owns, lives on, and operates his 100 acre property as a produce farm. He's got workers and trucks, warehouses etc on the property. He also co-operates 2 other 100 acre properties not far from his home. LRD won't give him a Cat C 22 for the rabbits that cost him $30,000+ MINIMUM in loses every year. He's applying again now, but apparently tax returns stating his loses, all the money he's spent on fencing, nets and what not still isn't enough to satisfy LRD that his bolt action 5 round 22's isn't satisfactory enough for his needs. It's fucking bullshit.

The Laws have become a joke My friends cousin was in the military and was discharged honorably yet to get a cat A and B license he still has to be put into a damn course on how to use a firearm! and be put on the same waiting list as everyone else. It's ridiculous hahaha.

Interesting stuff. In America, you have about the same level of red tape to get a machinegun license. After 1986, citizens can't buy newly made machineguns unless they are registered as a dealer or manufacturer AND they have a 'demo letter' from a law enforcement agency to demonstrate the firearm for possible sale. You guys have it much worse down there. We can buy AR-15's off the shelf or build them in our home with no license required. You can get 80% receivers and buy the rest of the parts online. An hour or two of work with some rudimentary tools and you can have an AR-15... legally! How's that lever-action shotgun controversy going down there?

Absolutely brilliant video. Up until seeing this I considered category D an impossibility. The best part is, I have friends/associates who genuinely will want me to assist with pest control on their properties. Edit: Anyone have a direct link to the forms we have to hand over to property owners that's meant to be on the Weapons Licensing website? Had a look without any luck.

Go to find a weapon trafficker is a better way with variety of choices...

Im pretty sure its easier to apply for a green card to the usa, fly there and purchase a gun there.And you'll probably still have a few thousand left over lol.

Impossible in W.A. Unless you are a "Government Appointed Official".

Paperwork and money and ... work? Sticking with the old bolt-action lol. Thanks for the vid.

here's a better idea- Join me in Switzerland where you only have to go through a microscopic fraction of the red tape.

Really informative Ozzie. Would you have knowledge in selling game meat e.g. pet shops,butchers. It would increase profit for a contract shooter but more importantly the meat is used.

Informative, though, Australia has a large geographical land mass and a small army, granted they are part of the British Commonwealth with many other nations and this is why local industry is important, but.... If your country gets invaded, the first people you look for are those who prevented (hindered) you from looking after yourself and your community.

I'm not worried about a D class. I would like to see silencers available to the AB guys. I'm pissing my neighbour off by dropping foxes at 10pm or 4am in the morning with rim fires on a 23acre property in NSW. I'd be happy to use one if it were legal.

Government should allow for Multigun/IPSC or even to allow into dedicated Service Rifle clubs to be made and fulfill the requirements for Catagory C and D with sound rules of mandatory participation etc. Honestly its coming up two decades since NFA and I think a mature discussion should be had. I hope the feral pest guys take no offence in this and I know all FPCs are stand up and professional but if you can shoot at fleeing animals kind of an uncontrolled scenario then how a range club with controlled enviroment/rules etc cant be allowed to utilise these firearms if public safety is the notion is beyond me.

Wow and I thought that gun law in my country is crazy :o

ozzie for president

If you own a Cat D license but can't shoot the guns on that license on your own or a friends private property then how do you do your semi auto reviews legally?

Thanks mate was going to help a friend who has pests on his farm. But going through the motions of getting a licence seems all to much ?

Thanks mate ! :)

Nice one.. 👍🏻

I just had to say this. In America we just go to the gun store and buy what we want.

Just a question Is it worth the hassle ? I’m thinking of doing it .

Good informative video mate! Did you have to sit the Vertebrate pest control course as well? Cheers!

I just moved into Queensland! Thank you very much. Your information is very useful! The Australia definitely a good place to live in! Guns restricted nation, but at least they give everyone a try to grab a difficult chance to own SLR!

Ok you have a cat d for pest control reasons so where do you review a firearm under a cat d where would you do so like on a farmers land or something like that?

Huh this is a different way than I got mine, granted it was in Tasmania, but since i grew up on a farm all I had to do was show that I live on a farm and that was it, granted my father has a cat d so that probably made a lot of teh red tape go away.

A most honest video. Can't fault it. Best case scenario, we get more pests removed. Worst case.......well I hate to think.

Good video boiiii

Hi Ozzie, i am from Austria and where thinking of moving to Australia since i was a little kid. The weapon thing kind of scares me, we have good gun control in europe and Austria but what your politicians do is just mad.

Is occupational shooting on a volunteer basis an acceptable form of pest control? Edit: on only a handful of properties that are owned by friends (and prior agreements are documented as required.) where the pest control is legitimate but undertaken on a ‘hobby’ basis but with all required documentation completed? Or, possibly, if the service is paid for but any payment is then spent on purchasing produce from the property of something of the sort?

I love guns but even that’s to much work for me

What about a delers license???

New to the firearms world so I will sound clueless with this question, but anyways. Say I get a Category B license ... Am I then able to do all the safety courses... for C, D and H without going for the licenses ? But gaining the passes in the safety courses in case I want to pursue licensing later?

You could have just said " dont bother to try"

how many people make a living from being prof cat-d hunters?

thats why you bow hunt all you need is written permission and off you can hunt pigs,rabbits,foxs,cats,dogs and all feral animals you can think of

And i thought we had shit gun laws in Canada. Fuck me dead!

Hey mate, are you able to do a vid on the business end. E. G making money and how much, average monthly take home

Qld'er here. Has this situation changed since 2015? Or is the information still up to date?

How would this all go down in Victoria? you know? the nanny state...

This is why we have such a feral pest problem.

Same sort of thing with a handgun license, if you want it you will jump through the hoops

AUSTRALIA the land of rules and regulations!!!

Mate you looked as baked a potato but nice video

prison island is choking place

Hi All, its also important to note that you can have CAT C firearms ( fully operational ) on a COLLECTORS license. Thats means AR15 variant semi auto .22's ( check out the M+P 15/22 and the H+K 416D )and pump and semi auto shot guns upto 5 shots. ( benellis M4 and the mossberg 500 ) Collectors license only involves you attending 1 meeting a year to keep the license, BUT.... keep in mind your not meant to "shot" collector firearms. or if you do, don't get caught... lol

bro are you recording this from a jail cell... ahahaha nah jk good vid

What does an average job pay ?

What if u r primary producer and just want to use on own property, on top of that am a volunteer euthanaser for Native Animal Network South Australia ,saving native animals but sometimes, ie roos hit by cars and are fatally wounded but joey still alive i secure the joey and euthanse mum.... have been doing that for twenty years under a primary producers category as part of a volunteer organization whom have the insurance and provide evidence of and back up my duties with police when licence is being renewed. When on public land ie road verge I call the police and get a job number they give me the authority to discharge weapon in public....... It's probably the most meaningful thing I've ever done easing animals suffering. Accurately safely and compassionately,that's my motto. Cheers oz, regards mozz, I actually will follow up with the head shooter for our organization...

Move to the USA and live like a free citizen. Cheaper and quicker.

Does Cat D apply to farmers that have to deal with pests if they can show they have issues?

Jesus! It’s cheaper and probs quicker for me to fly to the US, get a green card and purchase a AR15 and still have money left after flights and expenses 😂

Better off moving to Texas lol

mate ya taking the fun off australians no fun for the rest of us

So they dont want pests exterminated. Ive had enough of this country. Im moving to america soon as biden is out.

i feel like you are going to cop shit for this
