WHAT HAPPENS AFTER YOUR MEMBERSHIP IS APPROVED
If you are already a handgun licence holder and handgun owner, then your ‘participation’ requirements will continue as before.
If you are new to the sport, wanting to acquire a handgun licence, and progress to ownership of your own handguns, then there are a number of procedures to follow.
1. After joining the Club (your membership will not start until Victoria Police approval has been given) you may apply for a provisional handgun licence (duration 6 or 12 months). You cannot own a handgun under this licence, but you can shoot under Club direction.
2. You must within 3 months of joining the Club complete the Basic Firearms Safety Course (Handguns), and Basic Firearms Safety Course (Long-arms). The Club will assist you in arranging for these courses. Prior to completing those courses, for reasons of safety, the Club will not permit you to shoot in competition.
3. You have to be a Club member for at least 6 months before you will be eligible to apply for a Category H Handgun Licence. You must also have participated in at least 5 Club competitions in the 6 months preceding your application for a Category H Handgun Licence. These are requirements of the Firearms Act 1996.
4. Only then will the Club give its endorsement to your Handgun licence application.
5. In the first 6 months of your Category H Handgun Licence you may only own one handgun (.22 or Centrefire up to .38).
6. The Club will not give its endorsement for you to acquire a handgun until we have inspected and approved your firearms storage facilities. Install your storage facilities sooner rather than later, and let us know so we can inspect them.
7. To use handguns from the holster, you must first have completed a Holster Qualification Course which is conducted by the club. This course will acquaint you with the pros and cons of safely handling handguns from the holster.
