So how do you get a gun in Perth?

I don’t know in truth. From friends I know who shoot, they need to keep their hand guns at the range. They can’t take them home. Farmers can have rifles, but I’m having a hard time picturing a rifle being the weapon in this story.

Could of very easily been a rifle, this guy was a licensed owner, at best he kept everything locked up, ammo stored separately, keys hidden, at worst could of kept a loaded rifle next to his front door.

It was confirmed this afternoon that he had two handguns on the scene and was licensed as a collector for them.

I am personally surprised, I didn’t know that was possible. Meanwhile, there’s a petition going around by gun owners saying they don’t want tighter gun laws in the wake of this. I wonder whether there is an opposing petition saying it should not be legal to have a handgun at home?
