Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main concerns regarding new gun laws in Western Australia?

New gun laws in Western Australia are raising concerns due to a perceived lack of consultation with firearm owners and dealers. Critics worry about increased police powers to confiscate firearms and potential difficulties for law-abiding citizens to own firearms, especially those associated with specific groups.

What is the recommended approach for stocking ammunition for hunters and producers?

It's advised to buy ammunition consistently, perhaps a box per week, as supply can be unpredictable, especially after events like COVID-19. Proactive stocking ensures availability for hunting, pest control, and recreational shooting, preventing shortages when needed most.

What are considered good go-to handguns for .22 LR and 9mm?

For .22 LR, the Ruger SR22 is recommended for its reliability and fun factor, alongside the time-tested Ruger Mark III and Mark IV series. For 9mm, the Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 and the classic Beretta 92 series (including the M9A4) are highly regarded for their performance and ergonomics.

What are the best three shotgun shell sizes for a 12-gauge to cover most situations?

For versatile use with a 12-gauge, a good selection would include bird shot (like #7.5 or #8) for small game and birds, #4 shot for mid-range applications and pigs, and buckshot for larger game like feral pigs, offering a balance for various hunting scenarios.
