requirements for carring a firearm in western australia and nt

have to agree, contact WA Police Firearms branch or look at the website.
Local Police Stations are useless, all young coppers who have had no exposure to firearms other than their basic training and dont want to know about it.

Firearms Branch I have found on several occasions to be very helpful to the extent of giving the local station a serve for being obstructive.

Go straight to their website

Damien,
if you ask six different authorities you will probably get six different answers.After years of travelling with a firearm I have basically found out that the firearm must be out of site in the vehicle,bolt removed, ammunition stored seperately,firearm must be licensed and as a plus it is handy to have a letter or letters from any property owners where you might be shooting whether interstate or local.Sometimes the more you ask the harder it gets!

lockable hard case preferred fixed to vehicle if possible. no regulatios I can find so far, ultimatley just common sense

hi Damien,
try WA's weapons branch, they are probably the best to ask, when we travelled from Qld through NSW we phoned our weapons branch in Brisbane, they said ''quote'' providing they are registered, you[me] are licensed, the [in this case] shotguns are hidden from public view, shells are separate from firearm then no problem.
you only need letter of authority from a property owner IF you intend to shoot on his property.
If you are [& you more than likely are][I hope] an ACTA or SSAA member or a member of a local gun/pistol club ask them, I have heard that WA is the hardest state to deal with.
Good luck

As hotfishes said - gun must be fitted to the car ( by small chain or so forth ) bolt and ammo must also travel in a separate lock up box not near where the gun is kept in the car ( ie lock up glove box )

dont quote me on this , but this does ring a bell ...
