Thread: Intro!

I'm not a pistol shooter, but my understanding has always been pistols can only be used on a police approved pistol range and absolutely not allowed to be used anywhere else (except air pistols).

Hopefully someone who knows more than me can confirm or deny!

From the Arms Regulations 1992
"Where an endorsement made under section 30 of the Act permits a person to have possession of a pistol in his or her capacity as a member of an incorporated pistol shooting club for the time being recognised by the Commissioner for the purposes of section 29 of the Act, that endorsement shall be subject to the following conditions:
(a) a condition that that person may use the pistol only for target pistol shooting on a pistol range approved by the Commissioner for the purpose:
(b) a condition that that person participate actively in the affairs of the pistol shooting club by taking part in its activities, on the pistol range used by that club, on at least 12 days in each year.
