G’day all, just came across your site when looking for info on the new NSW legislation coming out this Friday. My interest in it is because my son runs Red Baron Laser Skirmish, an out door laser skirmish business operating in Southern NSW. We have been in ongoing discussions with the NSW Firearms Registry as recently we were required to gain a prohibited firearms permit for our toy gaming guns, even though they have never and will never be capable of firing a projectile. In fact they don’t even have lasers. They are a toy, manufactured as toys but now subject to the same laws as real guns. We are now also restricted in providing this fun family game to kids over 12 years of age, which effectively has reduced our market by 1/3. Yet in other states and territories, sister operators need no permit, but if they come over the border with one in the boot, they risk 9 years gaol. So…. while we are now restricted, those operators conducting ‘laser tag’ indoors and really do use lasers, are blissfully unaware that they are in breach of the ACT. Crazy. Phil

If this bill is passed in NSW will collectors with deactivated grenades etc receive compensation if their valuable and historic collections are confiscated?
