>want to own a gun for target shooting
>keep hearing horror stories about all the loops you have to jump through to get a licence
Is it even worth it? All I want to do is shoot some paper targets and some cans and bottles, but thanks to Martin Bryant it looks like I can't do that.
Also talk about owning guns from an Aussie perspective I guess so this thread isn't a total waste of space.

Do it. It's not so much difficult as a somewhat drawn-out process. It's worth it, even just as an 'up yours' to the powers that be.

What should my first weapon be? Budget would be about $300 or so. Doubt I could get anything good for that, but I did see a bunch of rifles under $300 (some going for as low as $110) when I went to a gun shop a while ago to do some window shopping.

You can pick up a reasonable used 22 for $300-ish. Norinco 22s run under that with a scope, while cheaply made and badly finished they can be accurate with the right ammo.

Is that the usual waiting time?

Nope 8 to 12 weeks after doing your safety certificate and joining a club, then you might need to show cause, and then buy a safe etc etc etc

Depends on where you live/your police. My entire licence process took 1 afternoon and I had my licence card within a week. Whereas other people have waited months.
