Thread: Farmer feels isolated from mates after losing firearms licence during depression

Good on the young fellah. He has done right things and that should hold him in good stead when he comes out the other side of the health issue. Such circumstances would raise a real conundrum in my household as both my daughter and I are registered as joint owners of the E cat firearms in our safe. So even if old Rushy flipped his lid it could be argued that young Ashleigh is still fit and proper and has the right to retain possession of the firearms she has ownership of. The bloody law fraternity would make a fortune arguing both sides of that coin.

Not really. They would be forced into looking at whether you could gain access to any firearms on the premises. Your daughter could retain possession, but only in a manner that ensures you cannot gain access. As for objections to that, consider what your partner / wife, and daughter would be like if you did gain access and something happened......To be honest, if they take that into consideration, I think objections would soon be dealt with. I would hope that your daughter would care more about you than the shared contents of your gun cabinet. I would quickly give up mine if any of my family were to be at risk if I thought they could gain access. As much as I love the firearms, my family takes preference, no questions. And I will look after firearms for others in similar positions if asked to.
