Lately ive heard a few rumers going around that soon you would be able to buy paintball guns without a gun licence permitting that you are 18+. I dont really believe that this is entirely true but i was just wondering if anyone had heard anything about this topic. i know that there a few members of the law on these forums and i would be interested to hear your professional opinion about this subject
thanks

I was quite sure that this law was already in place?

ive been looking into it for a while, havent checked recently though, but for the last 2 years, its said that they were going to relax the laws on them, but as of yet, i havent heard that they had..

Extract from the police website in regards to paintball markers/guns.

Can I have a soft air firearm (rifle or handgun) without a licence?
No. Soft air firearms, also known sometimes as "air soft toys", are defined as a firearm within the definition of the Firearms Act 1973, amended 1996. Therefore, in Western Australia you are required to be in possession of a licence for a soft air firearm. Should you not want a licence and wish to dispose of a soft air firearm, an on-going amnesty exists wherein you can dispose of the weapon at a police station.

Automatic paintball gun driveby for the win!

wa law not much said

You need a firearms liscence (class C?) to purchase and possess a paintball marker. You can however use one in a liscenced venue (paintball skermish, or any paintball place) without any liscence.

There's a 28 day waiting period and 28 day cooling off period for purchasing markers. As with normal firearms the have to be kept under lock + key in an approved firearms storage cabinet.

All the forms are available from ur local cop shop.

PM me for more info.

If you want one, ask your friendly paintball feild

We got offered 3 last time we went!

It's a class E licence that you require and no, you will never be bale to buy one without a licence. To get a paintball marker, you go through the same situation as if you were apllying for a normal firearm. 28day cooling off, answer the questionaire correctly, have an approved firearm cabinet to store the paintball marker in etc etc. Ammo doesn't have to be stored in a gun cabinet but the marker itself does.
