Firearm ownership in Australia is complicated. Unlike the United States where the right to bear arms is constitutionally protected by the Second Amendment, Australians have no such fundamental right. The law governing gun ownership, and your rights and obligations about firearms is dictated by the particular State or Territory in Australia in which you live.
If you have had your application for a firearm refused, or if your permit has been cancelled, we’re here to help.
We have experience in advising on permit refusal and cancellations, in appealing to the relevant Commissioner in your State or Territory, and where that is not successful, appealing, where possible, to a Court or Tribunal.
Australia has a complex legal system with respect to the purpose and ownership of firearms. You must generally demonstrate a valid reason for owning one, and comply with the laws involving the use and storage of them.
If you are unsure of your rights or obligations concerning gun ownership, or if you require further details about firearm legislation within Australia, we can help.
