unless you can prove it.
It's been a while since I've fired a gun, and as much as I;d love to use the type of weapon I'd like to use (H&K MP15) somehow I don't think it'd go down too well.
So - what are the laws here governing shooting those pesky possums? Can I just apply for a gun licence, buy a rifle or shotgun, then go straight out and shoot the little bastards, or are there any specific possum protection laws I should be aware of?

Personally I got my guns before the laws all came in, but yea to even buy a gun you need a licence - but still its ok.
Just get your licence and kill the kunts - I dont know specific laws I just used to be sent out to kill possums and rabbits.
edit: get your 'classics' licence and you can handle m14's and shit fucken rocks

Very true. Don't wander around to the dairy/bank/police station/anywhere with it though. And most certainly don't go 'nuts' without a silencer.. unwanted attention is not good. 'looks at scumdog'But they're sooooo coooool

If you have a firearms licence get the most accurate .22 you can afford and fit it with a silencer (sound moderator in P.C. language) make sure it shoots straight and go for it.
No firearms licence? Get a grunty .22 calibre air-rifle with scope and go for it - but make sure you go for head shots only.

I have a bretta at home that was fun for possums.
Couple of shotties, and a 22.
I also have a 1800fps (.177) air-rifle it abliterates ducks.

Silencers are crap on anything above a .22. All that BS you see in the movies where you only hear a "phsst" noise = bollox. Silencers just dull the explosion to a loud thud. Alledgedly.Very true.

So legally it's ok just to take a walk (on public land, away from houses, small children etc), tooled up, and just shoot the bstards?If you have a firearms licence get the most accurate .22 you can afford and fit it with a silencer (sound moderator in P.C. language) make sure it shoots straight and go for it.

Air rifles only require a licence if you are under 18 years old.But they're sooooo coooool
As far as full autos go, you are wanking if you using them as the first shot does the trick (if you are accurate) and the rest decorate the sky and cost you money.

oh queer I have no idea about the current laws I ignore them - maybe my step bro was B/s me.

Yeah, in my job I have found that SO many people know the law better than I do, - it's a wonder that lawyers are needed!!

sarcasm hurts, only reason I dont know is because I bought my air rifles a long long time ago before that law came in, think I was about 10/9 :\?, and inherited the bretta and shotties and the lame 22 that is a useless POS, some years later.

Hey biter, not getting at YOU but just passing comment, after a 10 day shift with a whole lotta 'bush-lawyers' and finishing with a shitload of bourboun ya get kinda touchy!
Get a 'good' .22 and 4X40 scope, fit a silencer, get it zeroed at 20 metres with subsonic loads and go for it. If you can afford laser sight so much the better but it isn't a 'cure-all'.
Get a top-notch spotlight that runs off a re-chargeable dry-cell battery and you'll have a ball!! (but the monkeys won't!)

Hehehe, nah Its ok I understand - hey serious question, do you know many of the employment requirements for the police? I asked at a recruitment function if I would have trouble getting in due to being partially color blind, they said they werent sure, I know I cant get into the army or navy?
On the gun note, I am no longer required on the farm so I havent got any of the big guns with me, I still have the 45. but. Has a red-dot is absolutely the most fun for possum hunting.

Used to do this on a rungus hilux.. two spots and one shooter on the tray. Works well.. possums don't seem to be worried by the hilux and neither did the rabbits... And when you can't hit 'em you just run 'em over
