Query.

I have a current license, but at present, no firearms. Am going to shoot some clays, and am wanting to contribute some ammo. Will be using my bros scattergun on site. With purchasing ammo being a triggering event, what happens when one has nothing to register?

Ammo not a triggering event yet AFAIK

Ammunition purchase is not a triggering event until 24 June 2025.

"When arms items must be registered
The regulations specify the “activating circumstances” that will trigger licence holders to engage with the Registry, including when licence holders:

apply for a licence or an endorsement
have a change in circumstances, such as a change of address
sell or supply, purchase or receive, import, export, manufacture or modify an arms item
report the theft, loss or destruction of an arms item
import ammunition
sell ammunition (dealers and ammunition sellers only)
purchase ammunition after 24 June 2025, or
are subject to compliance or enforcement action by Police under the Act or regulations."

Cheers. I'm planning on another rifle by then, so no issue.
