Info from DOJ site

bunny shooter

Found this on DOJ site, see section on air rifles, was it mentioned here before no bunnies, pigeons etc. could be shot with air rifles ? I am surprised at this revelation as accross the water air rifles are legally permitted to shoot rabbit, pigeions, crows, magpies, grey squirrels etc.

A badly written and inaccurate document Bunny,

Even the option whereby an applicant is not a landowner , but is a member of an approved club or range, isn't mentioned.

Furthermore , this whole section....is just untrue.

Before you make your application for a firearms certificate for a rifle in excess of .22 calibre, you must obtain a permit from the Department of Environment, Heritage and Local Government (Parks and Wildlife) to support your application to shoot game in the open season.

I could go on ... but the level of misinformation about is just depressing.

yeah bunny shooter i don't think that is based on any act. you can't hunt birds or game with an air rifle and i think the info.(or disinformation) stems from that.
it's a pity the people involved with firearms know so little about the law

Don't get me wrong Bunny ...

I know the mistakes aren't yours.:)


It's just frightening how little seems to be known about the law in the Department of Justice here.

Moi, get you wrong. I know you weren't blaming me, this time

This is their advice, no wonder the firearms issue is in the state it is
