20140528 Rifle (Longarm Safety Course).

Finally, it's time to attend Long Hands Safety Course. and guess what.
I arrived late. I thought class starts at 7:30pm. It started at 7:00pm. Got there on 7:25pm going "yes! just in time~". Then knocked and walked in, seeing a classroom full of people. @__@"" Waaaaat??

The the DFO told me, "Oh you're 30min late, you missed alot. Please sign you name at the back and take a seat."

This course includes a 10 question test (Laws and Regulations). Then followed by a safety session, then a 30 question test. Class finish around 10pm.you may go once u have pass the test.

Content is pretty much same as Handgun Safety Course except Longarm safety course caters to more towards hunting and primary produce needs. so things like 'never cross a fence with a loaded gun, never shoot at water or rocks, a clogged barrel will blow up, safe handling, etc etc.'







(Everyone was so quiet and non-social in the class for sum reason)

To my utter surprise, I scored 29/30... WHAATTTT!!! (I blame it on the question~ for being so vague. hehehehe.)



------------------------


Application form.
Sent it out 10 June 2014.



Just wanted the license. didn't want to own or buy a rifle at this stage. I just wanna focus on Handguns.

20140511 Club Rifle

Times like this I wish I can use my own rifle. I keep having to aim 45 degree left n up to hit the target. :P. all shots are 'guesstimates' shots.



(Sigh, still can't shoot handguns -_-, running low on Nori and waiting for probation license.)


2014/05/25 - Yeahh, police called, asking me to attend a 'rifle safety course'. (Submited the form like 1.5 weeks ago.)
I tot safety courses are held in shooting range, but he asked me to go to a police station. oh well, different experience :).

20140505 VIC Police Finger Printing.

Its so quick~!!, within 5-10min I was done. wow~

I Just Get in, Hand in form, let them photocopy my licence, pay $165, usher into another room. Get finger print recorded in a machine. and then off u go. There isn't any waiting time involved. The only wait is waiting for the FingerPrinting Facility to open it's door. There is a cafe right opposite the place, so u can just sit there sipping on coffeee and eat your breakfast, while watch the doors open for you~. Hehehe.

Guess it's the Benefits of having an 8am appointment. U get there before the Rush hour jam even starts. and head back the opposite direction and see everyone bumper to bumper jam going into the city~.. muahahaha.

Oh, and when u are this early, theres lots of parking everywhere~
(I parked in Crown Casino and walked across the road.)

Got there like 7:40am The place is pretty easy to find.


Things to be aware.
- No Cash accepted (EFTPOS, Credit Card, Cheque)
- Bring 100 Points of ID, (and Back up ID)
- Bring your application forms per-filled, its faster that way.



Now my finger prints are forever in the Police records.....

-------------------------

So quick~! I got the results on same week. @_@. Infact, 2 days later~ Wow~~~

Here is the results:







Damn it! the pictures keep flipping 90 degrees by themselves -___-"
