In order to possess a firearm and ammunition a person must hold the appropriate licence and ensure the firearm is registered.
There are also laws relating to the storage of the firearm and ammunition.
Certain firearms are not able to be registered or possessed. Strict laws govern the possession of firearms with severe penalties applying if such laws are not abided by.
Persons who have committed a serious firearms offence or have been found in possession of prescribed firearms are frequently refused bail as prescribed applicants. These persons may also be refused a suspended sentence.
