NSW Paintball regulations now comes in line

[PAINTBALL PETE]

This was received by Pete Spence only moments ago.


Dear Peter,

The Firearm Regulation 2006, which commenced on 1 September 2006 now exempts interstate residents who hold an equivalent paintball gun possession permit from the requirement to hold a NSW permit to use a paintball gun on a permit specified in a paintball game permit (i.e on an approved paintball range). The relevant clause (clause 58) is below and the whole Regulation can be found at the Firearms Registry's website at: http://www.police.nsw.gov.au/__data/...82/s05-001.pdf


1) The Commissioner may, on application by a person, issue a permit (referred to as a paint-ball gun permit) authorising the person to possess a paint-ball gun otherwise than on premises specified in a paint-ball game permit.
(2) A paint-ball gun permit authorises the holder of the permit to possess a paint-ball gun, but does not authorise the use of a paint-ball gun except on premises specified in a paint-ball game permit.

(3) A paint-ball gun permit is subject to such conditions as may be specified in the permit with respect to the safe keeping and storage of a paint-ball gun to which the permit relates.

(4) A person who is a resident of another State or Territory and is the holder of the equivalent of a paint-ball gun permit issued under the law in force in that other State or Territory is exempt from the requirement of the Act to be authorised by a permit to possess a paint-ball gun otherwise than on premises specified in a paint-ball game permit. However, nothing in this subclause authorises any such person to use a paint-ball gun otherwise than on premises specified in a paint-ball game permit.

I must say a big congratulations to all of the field owners in NSW for they way in which they have acted quickly in remidying this situation. Not only have they gone into bat for themselves but it shows the commitment that they all have to the paintball scene around Australia.
Keep up the great work :bow:
