Question, are you allowed to even own handguns in Australia? If so how difficult is it to get permit. Notice I am talking about ownership not carry.

G'Day Fella's,

Yes Don we are but for how long, is the big question!
In 2003 (?) the slimy little Political Animal we had for prime minister at the time, changed the laws.
This meant that most shooters could only own handguns;
No larger than .38 calibre!
With a Pistol barrel no shorter than 120mm or a Revolver barrel of 100mm!
and
With a magazine capacity of no more than Ten cartridges!

Also, it is a major undertaking (6 + months), to gain qualification to get to the stage of obtaining just a Handgun License!
Fortunately in the last five+ years, there has been a massive amount of interest from Law Abiding People taking up shooting, including Handgun shooting!
Of course, this sport can be wiped out with the stroke of a pen, by some other slimy political animal, that prefers the company of the UN, more than they do their own people. Then only the Government and the Criminals, will have firearms!!!

Doh!
