New South Wales together with all other states and territories will be participating in an ongoing National Firearms Amnesty (amnesty) which commenced on 1 July 2021 and has no end date.

The aim of the amnesty is to reduce the number of unregistered firearms in Australia.

In New South Wales, the amnesty allows for:

• Firearms to be surrendered to a dealer or the police without fear of prosecution.
• Firearms to be registered to a firearms license (with no need for a PTA) as long as the firearm is compliant with your license.
• Prohibited weapons to be surrendered to a participating firearms dealer or police station without fear of prosecution.

Boydies in Wingham are a participating dealer in the Amensty..

Before taking a firearm to a participating firearms dealer or a police station, make sure the firearm is unloaded and where possible, remove the bolt or other method to render the firearm safe. Place the firearm in a gun bag or wrap in a blanket. Ammunition can be taken at the same time as a firearm; however, it must be stored in a separate bag, box or container.
