Gun Law - Australian Model

Over at Uncle Jay's there's a fairly complete list of the hoops you have to go through to get into the shooting sports with a pistol. Don't get in a hurry because it seems to take around 6 months before you'll be allowed to actually buy one of your own, but no fear mate, you can borrow a club pistol as long as you're closely supervised by a more senior member.

The rather lengthy list of FAQ's is not promised to be complete, so whatever you do, it probably won't be enough. Gotta keep the guns out of the wrong hands after all. Oh yes, if you're planning to visit, Jay also nots:

Listen to Uncle Jay:

When you arrive in Australia, you may be asked some questions by Customs & Immigration at the airport checkpoint.

If they ask if you have any felony convictions, the reply "I didn't know it was still a requirement." is NOT the correct response...

Just sayin'

 It is good to think that 1: there is very little crime in Oz and 2: the police will appear within seconds of anyone initiating a crime. Wish we had that.
