Licensing is basically a 3 part process:

1) Genuine reason, you will need to show a genuine reason for owning a firearm, and there are many ranging from Target Shooting (which simply requires Membership of a club or organisation like the SSAA) to primary production and feral animal control. You will need to state your genuine reason when you request your application form. To join the SSAA go here https://membership.ssaa.org.au/

2) Go online or Contact NSW Police firearms registry and request an application form, this will be posted to you. If you cant locate it let us know we will help.

3) Safety course, this can be done at any time, you simply book in at the range to complete your Firearms Safety course, one of our trainers will run you through all you need to know and then test you at the end, and if you pass the trainer will complete his part of your application. You then send the completed form off to the Firearms registry for approval.
