Permissible Firearms and Licensing thereof

Thanks all,

It is a S&W Model 28 - Highway Patrolman with a 6" barrel.

Will be applying under Section 16 the minute the revolver appears in stock at Overberg Guns and Ammo.

If I can get to shoot it as well as my Dad did, I will be a very happy man.

That's fantastic. I shoot a pistol my grandad gave me as a youngster a few times a month and its all the better for the memories it always brings up.

Many thanks for remembering me KK, nice chatting again and thanks for the return of the goodies .

Somehow, I had the feeling that this would happen.

That revolver should be easy to handle and shoot accurately. Definitely a hunting handgun.

You are unlikely to wear it out in your lifetime. Since they are built on the (44 Mag size) N-frame, they are very sturdy and durable.

My understanding of the FCA.

My armoury is, for which I have the required compentency's;

Section 13
1x 9mm SD Pistol

Section 15
1x 30-06 Hunting Rifle
1x 6.5 x 55mm Hunting Rifle
1x .22 Hunting Rifle

Section 16
1x 12 Bore O/U
1x .375 Hunting Rifle

1. From what I understand the Section 13 and Section 15 firearms require no additional qualification and form part of the basic allotment of 4 firearms for any individual. In my case one for self-defense and the balance of three under Occasional Hunter or Sports Shooter. Am I missing anything?

2. In order to acquire the additional hunting rifles I needed to apply under Section 16 - Dedicated Hunter.

So far so good.

My Dad's .357 Revolver which was apparently lost to me in the estate has suddenly become available, so I wish to license this to my name.

I really don't want to be registering under a different section. Can I get the .357 through under Section 16?

I have 2 9mm pistols and a 357 revolver.
1 sec 13 SD
1 sec 16 Dedicated sport
1 357 mag - sec 16 Dedicated Hunting.

If 357 barrel is 4" or longer it can be licensed as a dedicated hunter.

As per TStones post above a short barreled rollie can be motivated for coup de grace use under dedicated hunting too.
