Section 21 Temporary Licenses - how do they work?
Hi Folks,
New to the site - as my intros said I found it last night while looking for info on temp licenses, and wound up reading for over 2 hours :)
I have a specific question about the issuing of Temporary Licenses under Section 21 of the Act, and under what circumstances a temporary license may be granted (and for how long).
My situation is as follows:
I have never owned a firearm, but in 2006 applied for competency, and received my card in early 2008. I then bought a rifle from a registered gun dealer, joined a hunting club and applied for a license which the hunting club helped me with, including CHASA endorsement of suitability, letters from my PH friend and mentor, proof of club membership etcetc - I think it was a reasonably good motivation. Last updated was 14 Jan 09 - seems to be at the preparation stage.
The rifle is currently being stored at the dealer's premises. My safe is installed and has been inspected.
My question is whether its feasible to apply for a temporary license under Section 21, and if successful, to take possession of the rifle until the license comes through. I've read the regulations on temporary licenses but its not clear as to what circumstances would support a successful application.
My original motivation (apart from hunting) included a lot of farm management related issues (culling, predator control etcetc) which I could perhaps argue constitute compelling reasons to grant a temp license? I seen it mentioned once or twice on this forum, but would appreciate any further light you guys can shed on this one.
