Well, the Churches would have us believe that but personally I am a bit cynical because no-one has ever "gone over there" and come back to tell us about it.

The absolute truth is that while there are plenty of beliefs out there no-one actually knows.

I believe it is highly probable that the "afterlife" is both a creation of churches to keep us in line and a reflection of man's reluctance to accept the reality and finality of death.

Well Jqueline if these Pros and Cons can demonstrate that there law abiding adults with a genuine need of a firearm, have secure storage for there firearm that complies with Schedule 4 of the Firearm Regulations 1974. . couplet the HTML Firearm Licence application forms and have a Serviceability Certificate for there gun.???

They can apply for a license

How do I apply?

HTML Application forms are available online.
Once you complete the form, you must print the Application Summary and lodge this with your supporting documents at a participating Australia Post outlet.
You will need to satisfy a 100 point proof of identification requirement.
What constitutes 100 points of ID? See Before you begin (PDF, 125kb).
An application fee is payable, please see Licence fees.


Your Application Summary once lodged will be electronically matched to your application and sent to Licensing Services (Firearms)




How long will it take?

Whilst we endeavour to complete all licence applications in a timely manner there is no set period because of a number of factors, but not limited to:
  • The complexity of the application;
  • Lack of requisite information provided by applicants;
  • Further information requiring follow-up;
  • Human Resources being available to assess applications and probity to ensure that applicants meet the criteria as being fit and proper, and that there is a genuine need/reason for the possession of a firearm;
  • IT sytem availability.
Not to undertake these checks and balances is likely to put community safety at risk.
Note: If the application is for an ‘Original’ Firearm licence, there is a legislative mandatory 28 day waiting period, which commences after the application has been received at Police Licensing Services prior to the assessment process beginning.
After the initial 28 days, you will receive correspondence from Licensing Services Firearms requesting information which you will need to supply within another 28 days. If the information is not supplied within that time, legislation dictates that your application can not proceed.

Guidelines to obtaining a Firearm Awareness Certificate

  • A firearm awareness test is required to be successfully completed by every first time applicant for the issue of an original Firearm Licence.
  • The test is designed to ensure you understand the basic requirements for the safe handling of firearms and firearm laws in WA
  • The test and supporting information is available through Firearm Dealers or other authorised persons of approved firearm clubs or associations.
  • At the successful completion of the Test, the Firearm Awareness Certificate will be issued.
  • It is valid for 12 months from the date of issue.
  • In the event that the applicant does not successfully pass the test on their first attempt they are excluded from 're-sitting' the test for a period of 24 hours.
  • An applicant is not to be afforded more than three opportunities to complete the assessment and where an applicant has been unsuccessful on three occasions Police Licensing Services are to be notified of this.
  • A copy of the Firearm Awareness Certificate (with the actual test/result – including unsuccessful assessments) should be retained on file at the point of issue.
  • The authorised person issuing the certificate shall ensure all fields are completed in accordance with the explanatory note (as provided).
  • Once completed, the certificate is to be provided to the purchaser/applicant in order that it can be presented with their Application Summary at a participating Australia Post outlet.
  • To minimise errors and possible delays in the application process, it is preferable the certificate be typed and not hand written.
You have to prove that there is a genuine need and/or genuine reason for the firearm you are applying for.


And have


a Firearm Awareness Certificate
 
The main snag with keeping a gun in the house is the necessity to secure it properly. This means having the gun and ammo locked up separately which, in turn, means that as a means of defending yourself the weapon is practically useless. "Hold on, Mr burglar/home invader/rapist. I'll just unlock this cabinet, find my ammunition and load up then I will deal with you.......
 
Can this life after death be the life we are living right now? Because if so, then yes I believe in life after death.
 
sven.
you cant legally really use a firearm to defend yourself in australia anyway.
if a burglar breaks in with a knife you cant use a gun
.only a knife. even if you shot them you would have to try and explain why you used time grabbing your gun and not ringing 000.
my guns are locked away and pretty useless for self defense for the reason you said.
but its funny how many people just assume thier under your pillow just in case.
I feel safe enough to consider it a non issue.
im not living in feer of a home invasion like many seem to
 
Plus keep a loaded gun on the dresser you may have the case of A burglar comes in unarmed comes to your room and now he has a gun to help convince you to tell him where you keep your Penthouses and Playboys
 
yep if your going to pick up a weapon you better be darn well prepared to use it full force

Not entirely correct Bushey you can use reasonable force to defend yourself , the question is what was reasonable at the time ??
 
Maybe and smacking a eleven year old home invader full force with a meter of 32MM D bar may also be deemed unreasonable use of force ,
 
and a guns rarely going to be considered reasonable force.
its not america.
were expected to ring 000 and run away not unlock a safe. get ammo. load etc.
frig even the cops who shot that meth head stabbing the chick in carsile have been arrested.....
fact they also ventilated her does tell me they spend no where near enough training with firearms though
 
And good pirate is a man who is used to a life of degredation and doing menial tasks for a pitiless master Tough Men
ie He's married

Nah Chuck woulda just kicked or slapped the baddies bullets away Surely
He wasnt as reliant on guns as Arnie and sly I mean Rocky would have won that first bout with Apollo Creed in the first round if he had a gun But Chuck would have done so without a sidearm
