Get Au Queensland Police Form 4a 2016-2025

Getting a weapon A permit to acquire (PTA) authorises a weapons licence holder to buy or acquire a weapon. You will be asked the details of your weapons licence when applying for a permit. A permit to acquire is for a single weapon only. You must apply each time you want to get a weapon.

Genuine reasons for a firearms licence include sports or target shooting, recreational or occupational reasons (for example, if you work in primary production).

The first Category A Shotgun you buy, 28 day wait. The first Category B Centrefire Rifle you buy, 28 day wait. Once you serve these waiting periods once and the first gun is registered to your licence, a Permit to Acquire can take anywhere between 3-21 business days to be issued.

Rimfire rifles; single or double barrel break action shotguns; paintball guns; air rifles; and power heads. Must be 75cm or greater in length. Miniature cannons under 120cm in barrel length as prescribed in the Act.
