After becoming a member of the Club, you will need to attend a safety course. This is held on the 3rd Saturday of each month and you will need to arrange this prior with the club Secretary.
After completing the course you need to fill in the appropriate forms for the licensing branch and returned with in 7 days.
The next step is to apply for the permit to carry and use general category handgun during probationary period. This period lasts for 6 months. You cannot own a handgun while you are a probationary member, but you are able to use a club handgun.
An attendance diary must be keeped, with at least 5 competitive matches by the end of the 6 months. After this period you are able to purchase a .22 rimfire handgun by submitting a permit to acquire a handgun form to the licensing branch and meeting the safe storage requirements. After a further 6 months at the conclusion of your probationary period, you then may be able to purchase a centre fire handgun if you wish.
