Toy guns will have to be licensed in Queensland under new firearms laws
ANY ITEM that looks like a gun will have to be licensed under several changes to the Weapons Act being considered by the Queensland State Government.
Even guns made out of materials as unlikely as soap or plastic may have to be kept under lock and key if they could “reasonably be taken to be a weapon”.
The draft act says an imitation is a “reasonable copy” of a weapon that is not capable of causing death or injury.
“If it looks like a gun and feels like a gun, it will have to be licensed,” said a government source.
“We just want to know where they are.”
It is unclear how the draft affects toy guns.
Failure to license an imitation weapon will carry a maximum $4500 fine under the proposals and incorrect storage carries a penalty of $750.
