Police corruption used as excuse to increase firearm laws

To be fair to the cops it might not be corruption but could be their raw laziness or idiocy, just ask the orificers that monitor this forum!  

The NSW FAR keep changing their “fact sheets”. No information is provided sent to individual licence holders when these arbitrary changes are made. There are new “rules” for storing a rifle in your shed if it's not attached to your primary residence. The commissioners “powers” are real wild west.

Yes but how did the ammunition just disappear from the storage unit. 
Someone is helping themselves!!!    I know many people who have had cash stolen from gun safes by so called men in blue when checking or confiscating weapons. 

There is a real probability that firearm restrictions become more onerous due to police negligent at best. 

I’d like another buy back. I have a few crappy rifles i wanna offload for 3x the price i paid for them😄

Local Cop turned up to buy some honey. Saw that I had the gun safe open and was cleaning a new rifle, so asked me if he could do an inspection. No worry's, took all of 5 mins, paperwork all in order and he said we would probably not hear from them again. That was over 15 years ago.

Have since fitted rifle carriers to the quad and tractor, you never know......




With a body like this, who needs hair ?

"A woman he knew claimed to have helped find a buyer and wanted to be paid. This disagreement escalated with threats of blackmail and, Sam said, vexatious claims made against him to police.

This sparked the seizure of his guns and ammunition, which is police policy for registered firearms owners."

Ah yes. Guilty until proved innocent. Welcome to Victoria.

Hmm.  This is not a bad idea.  I hadn't thought to do this.  My Mrs is trying to talk me into taking her to the club for some exposure to my firearms - I've been sorta putting it off because I don't think ultimately she's likely to have much interest outside of the first few times with the wow factor and all - however, there might be a practical side to splitting the weapons into smaller ownership caches so to speak.

I wonder how this works in the real world?  So a customer goes manky on me and throws a complaint to the local cops who then want to confiscate, even temporarily, my firearms.  Would they just clean out the safe?  Take my wife's weapons as well?  Or could I have 'my' weapons put into the guardianship of my wife until legalities (re: customer and complaint) sorted themselves out?

If they try to confiscate her weapons, 'cause of me, then Id let the Lawyers deal with that.

The knowledge to construct a weapon from $20 worth of Bunnings pipe cant be confiscated though.







You cant scare me, I have four daughters.

Lots of people say that. Then, like my mate, they spend $40k trying to get their guns back. All charges against him withdrawn or no conviction recorded, but FAR still decided he was unfit to hold a licence. All for bull$hit trumped up paperwork discrepancies, no real law broken.

So for anyone claiming they'll get a lawyer, I hope you have huge amounts of money to throw away.
