G day

I have just been able to register an old air rifle, Mauser and Side by Side 12 gauge thanks to the amnesty. I did not have to get the usual "permit to acquire" for any of these ($38.50ea). I also did not have to pay the regular $25.00 for "Brokerage" at my local Firearms dealer.

Now I can use these without fear of prosecution and losing all of my others.

One of them was already in the police records, Not my problem as it is a NO Questions asked policy. Just get them registered. If you are licenced for that category weapon you should walk out with it in about 15-20 minutes. This can be done at any police station, Firearms dealer or Armorer.
