Mine was a good dude too. Spent most of the time (2-hours!) talking about hunting and my chooks!

Cool. My interview was on Jan 23rd and the last referee interview about 10-days later. So hopefully it can't be far away.... I've got a rifle I bought sitting in the shop's gun safe pining to come...

Out of interest.... And because I'm bloody impatient! How long is it taking to get your renewed licences?

Thanks; he was a good dude. There is an entire page to list your firearms, serial numbers and they are meant to ask. He said "It isn't law" and put a big cross across the page ha ha

It all went as sweet as a nut. Basically chinwagged for 2 hours, didn't even ask for the 7 safety rules! Thorough questions though and none tricky or untoward. When he asked to see where I hid the...

I won't be saying anything dodgy :) I'm not really expecting any problems. Was really just wondering about the key thing :)

The digital notetaker that I use to record my article interviews may or may not be running in the background; just in case..... ;)

Was wondering; will I get a 5 or 10-year license? I don't know if the 5-year legislation was passed with the rest of the regs?

Yup; going by the chat on the phone I'd say it will go the same way :) Just wanted to clarify the one question :)

I completely agree. :) What I was getting at was to only ask that if they ask where the keys are. Because legally you can't tell anyone without an FAL where they are. E.g, spouse, workmate etc. I'm...

You can't keep to an open area if walking out through the bush, you're not going to leave an animal behind in the bush because it's dark, what are...

Question 3 of the firearms license safety test

I'm just pedantically covering my arse! :) Rifles locked away and the ammo and bolts locked and bolted to the floor and wall in a separate location. And keys VERY well hidden..... ;) Just crossing...

Regarding the dim light; he said the answer of not having an animal on your back isn't realistic because if you shot a pig just on dark you're not going to leave it there because it's dark. So seems...

Oh; and only me here except for the cats, pigs, chooks and ducks. And they have all promised not to reveal where I've hidden the key! ;)

Yup; I thought to cover my arse I will ask him that. He sounded pretty reasonable on the phone when chatting. I queried him about one of the question regarding being in dim light and told him I'd try...

This will probably sound really dumb and super pedantic..... But do the assessors who visit for your firearms licence renewal have to be licenced firearms owners with a current FAL? I was just...
