​​A Firearms Licence is the most common type of licence within Queensland.  It allows possession and use of single shot/manual repeating rifles and shotguns (Category A & B) most commonly for:

• Sports or Target shooting
• Recreational shooting
• Primary Production; and
• other occupational reasons.

Semi-automatic rifles and shotguns (Category C & D) may also be possessed under a Firearms Licence for some genuine reasons, however sufficient evidence must be provided to justify the need to possess such firearms.

If you are interested in applying for a Firearms Licence refer to the relevant genuine reasons and the information that must be supplied upon lodgement of your application.​
