If you do intend to purchase a firearm here are a few things to keep in mind
that may help in speeding up the process of acquiring your new Firearm.
 | Choosing
Your Firearm
It is important to take the time to decide what type
of firearm to buy, Some things to consider:
- What will be the primary use, eg. Sport Target Shooting or Varmint
Control.
- Will the sporting shooters club you are a member of allow that type of
Firearm or calibre.
- The size and type of Game or Varmint you intend to hunt or control.
- The price of ammunition to buy and reload for your new Firearm.
- Talk to a reputable gunsmith or gun dealer, we are here to help
you.
- Always get a Second or even a third opinion.
Most of these questions and many others can be answered by contacting
your local Gun Shop, Sporting or Hunting Clubs/Associations.
|  | Discuss
the choice with your Local Gunsmith or Dealer
Before applying for a PTA
"Permit To Acquire" It is very important to discuss your
choice and procedures with your gun dealer.
- Do you qualify to own or acquire your choice of firearm
- Is the firearm readily available or will it need to be pre orderd.
- You may need to place a holding deposit on the firearm.
- Will your deposit be refunded if the PTA is not approved.
- Could there be any delays or complication ordering the firearm that could
affect the PTA.
|  | Applying
for a PTA "Permit to Acquire"
Currently a PTA
costs $30 per firearm and 6-8 weeks to approve, so it is important to
follow the above steps in choosing the correct firearm.
For example if you were to select a shotgun on your PTA and it was
approved you can only purchase a shotgun in the category you selected, if
you change your mind after it is approved the application can not be transferred
or changed, you will need to apply for another PTA.
- Make shore you fill out your PTA correctly, selecting the correct
firearm type and category.
- Photocopy all paper work and documentation you send to the firearms
registry for future reference if needed.
- Ask your local gunsmith or gun dealer for help, that is what we are here
for.
