Hey ppl. I've been on this forum for a while but have been inactive for some time while travelling and working. Originally joined when I was WA and now we are settled on the Gold Coast QLD. Transferred my rifles over from WA into my QLD licence which are .22 LR Brno CZ, Beretta/Boito 12G U/O, Mossberg 12G Rifled S/G Bolt action. My fav would have to be my mossberg, shooting 300g hornady sabots. New state means absolutely no farm contacts over here, so I'm keen to get to know where everything is at and start getting back into hunting. IN WA I primarily went for rabbits, foxes, camels, donkey, goats and wild dogs. Where I hunted in WA was light on Pigs and Deer so will be keen as mustard to score my first in QLD.

Yep 2 sides. I keep going back to what I have at home. I think I will end going the slab and chimney. Sent from my HTC Velocity 4G using Tapatalk 2

Needs to be anchored on 3 faces plus have massive washers that are only available in a couple if places around town. I had to make my own. Sent from my HTC Velocity 4G using Tapatalk 2

Thanks gibs, confirmed what I was thinking. I was thinking that the grey area was the definition of the immovable structure.

I have a farmer who has asked me to sort out a safe in one of the houses on their farm (WA). Its an old wooden farmhouse and the cops have said that installing a safe in there wouldn't comply because it has to be anchored to brick or cement on three faces. My question is, if we cut a section of the floor out and laid a small concrete pad with cinder block walls on 2 connecting sides and installed the safe that way, would it be compliant? Or does it have to attached to a structural wall? Also, the place has a chimney stack, if the first option isn't going to work, could we make one face of the safe bolt to one of the sides of the fireplace and cinder block the other side using a concrete slab as described in the first option?

Hey Hosstifer, The devil is in the detail when putting in your application. As we are the people who use these guns, we understand the need for two high powered rifles in different calibres, especially when it comes to camels, .308 is minimum calibre imho. But the licensing department just see two high powered rifles and says "too many". I've found the more I explained the reason behind the additional guns required, the easier the application process was. I'm not too sure on the recourse after the application has been submitted, maybe one of the more experienced members on here from WA can help you there. Good luck and welcome to the forum.

I'm in. Live in Kallaroo, keen to meet other shooters in Perth. Let me know if anything gets organised.
