    E-Cat all done, would have been a lot faster if I hadn't been busy with work, from start to finish it was only about a month. Didn't need an e-endorsed ref I just used two A-Endorsed refs and my partner with no licence. I used 3 Gun shoot, hunting/culling and recreational shooting for my reasons. Gun safe was $700 from gun City and had to be bolted to the floor and wall with 12mm concrete anchors. Took like 20 mins all up and only cost $17 for the drill bit. Very easy process and FREE!

    For your E?????

    maybe they arent bothering at the mo.

    For any endorsment they bring out this new book, yes a book that contains the interview everything from what locks you have on your doors and windows to how much you drink per week. Even the new A cat interview has changed asking if anyone with a so called mental illness comes to your house, all very quite intrusive and outside of the arms act, its all police policy written by university nuts that dont know buckshot from bullshit!

    Did you guys get the question, "What are your responsibilities when using a firearm for hunting or self defence?"
    It's a trick question isn't it?

    Yes the interview for myself and my referees was the same as done for an A cat license. Didn't even ask why I needed MSSA's (well the application form does). I was asked "what do you know about your rights regarding self defense". I basically said if you're gonna shoot somebody in self defense you can only do so if you feel your life is in immediate danger. The answer they are looking for is - you can use reasonable force, and because of our storage laws, it is impractical to keep a gun for home defense, because the police think that if you can quickly access a firearm during a home invasion, you probably aren't storing your firearms and ammunition in accordance with the act. No guns for self defense basically.
