Apologies for the crappy post, a few 13hr work days doesn't leave much time to write, I have more to add but I just wanted to get something up.

Here is Aus we just apply for our licences- my husband and I live on property so have licence for hunting and vermin control. Of course we had to say why we needed firearms etc, get all the background checks done and do a small training course/ test before we could purchase.
