Eligibility to hold a Weapons Act Licence

    


The QRA conforms to the requirements of the
Qld Weapons Act which governs the use of firearms:

If not disqualified or prevented from obtaining a licence under the Weapons Act 1990, a person may possess and use a weapon without a licence under certain circumstances.
These are:

  • A person who is eligible to obtain a licence
    may have possession and use a weapon at a range approved for the category of weapon,
    if they have produced photographic identification and signed the appropriate
    forms. Possession and use must be supervised
    by a range officer.
     

  • Full licence holders must be at least 18 years
    of age.
     

  • Children of at least 11 years of age can use certain firearms, with adult supervision,
    under a minor's licence.
     

  • A person is ineligible to hold a Weapons Act Licence if, within the past five years, they
    have been convicted of offences including misuse of drugs, or weapons, and the use or threatened use of violence.
     

  • A person is ineligible to hold a Weapons Act Licence if they are or have been the subject
    of a domestic violence order in the past five years.
