Well that's the end of me selling with out buyer being able to pickup. No way I'm giving those details out when they are not required.

Had this email from TM today...

Where do you live Maca and when are you going out? Oh and where is your safe and what is the combination?

why go thru that hassle when you can get your cuzzie who works in the civilian cop ranks to give you collectors details and pinch the whole lot.

It's amazing how fast the police dropped the "original form must be posted - no scanned or e-mail copies" policy on the transfer form when it suddenly became them who would have to pay for the stamp.

Yep I agree, we should challenge under the privacy act?

I sold a rifle a few weeks back and the buyer asked for all my details, so I gave him them (all false except name) and I got an email back saying for some reasons my details didn't match up at the cop shop. I called him and said I wasn't surprised as they were false, explained I don't give my details out for security reasons. Told him to call me when he was at the cop shop and I'll speak to who ever he was dealing with. So I got the ph call a day later and the Sargeant came on the ph. I told the Sargeant I wasn't trying to be difficult but I wasn't going to hand all my details to some random person I didn't know. He didn't care, and wanted them, so I politely said it wasn't happening, and that all I wanted to know was that this rooster held a current FAL, and as a seller thats all I need to know. He wasn't a happy chappy, but I couldn't give a fuck, policeman or not, a buyer doesn't need to know my shit!

How did you know that it was the police you were talking to? Would of been better for the seller to phone you that he was at such and such police station and then you could've looked the phone number up and called the station yourself.

Could have been Tom, Dickinson or Harry, but seeing as he had been to the cop shop in the first instance and finding out my details were false (only the police would know) I would imagine he's got no reason not to go back, and more importantly, I didn't send the rifle till I had the appropriate paperwork.

The system works as it is as long as your a responsible seller. No need to try and complicate a simple process is there?

So, just my little opinion.
I don't know if this "phone photo" is the real police form thing, but, if it is i spot few problems in between buyer and seller.
The buyer: if they produce it to prove anything they are straight away WRONG, as they are falsifying a official document, then committing a crime, if they have use a supposed police officer name without permit they are wrong again…
The seller: been the seller a very well stablished business the people work for them must be trained to deal with all kinds of situations they may come across, they should be able to identify a not fully completed document(in my opinion), i always have my online forms signed and stamped by the officer who do sight it.

So, in both ways they are wrong!

I believe all certified firearms, ammunition and its variants should have access to a national online firearms database, this way these retailers could double check the buyer information is correct or if the F.A.L. is actually current. For those who are selling privately it is a must to check the appropriate documentation and if not sure if it is legal or valid just call a police station/office and check the details of the person who you intend to "send/deliver" the goods.

Well, hope it make some sense to you guys.

Shame a lot of restrictions has been imposed on us "law" abide and responsible gun owners because someone want/need to prove a point(i must agree it unfortunately is/was a good point)

Cheers.

Breathe Maca, breathe. Rest in the knowledge that when anarchy descends, we that have access to our firearms will be the ones that will save the nation from all of the insurrection and rebellion.
