wooden guns

[dzcook]

did anyone see the collectors on the abc friday night they had a bloke who collected wooden guns hand made by another bloke that actually worked all parts where made of wood and exact replicas of the real thing had bullets oil bottles everything made from wood the work was really unbelieviable

must take a lot of skill and time to do and make

Nah, missed it, mate, might have a look to see if it's repeated on ABC2.

Pity you need a licence to pick one up...

Wow! That is COOL! If I had more spare time, I might just try making wooden replicas of my guns.

Wow! That is COOL! If I had more spare time, I might just try making wooden replicas of my guns.why? you couldn't kill anyone with 'em!

[bat]

why? you couldn't kill anyone with 'em!

I already have some of those. I think making a gun out of wood would be a lot of fun.

why? you couldn't kill anyone with 'em! Yes why Dan?
Does this mean that any material that is the shape of a firearm needs a license?
So if I make a cardboard cutout gun that looks fairly realistic then I need a license for it?

You're pretty much on the money Bob, if it looks like a gun it can be deemed illegal, especially if used in the perpertration of a felony, or as a means of intimidation or threat.
I had a villain in my charge at one time who was a male stripper, he got done for a plastic replica he used in his act when dressed (for a little while anyway) as a copper, that was in Queensland but I'm sure if they wanted him it could happen here too.

Well this is going to make it really tough on kids playing cowboys and indians. I hope to see lots of the little villians up on charges soon.

Quickly, somebody stop her before she blows her brains out.
