125 Temporary international firearms licences—decision

registrar must issue the licence unless prevented from doing so by this
Act.
Note 1 For when the registrar must refuse to issue a temporary international
firearms licence, see s 126.
(2) The licence must be issued in the category that the registrar believes
on reasonable grounds best corresponds to the foreign firearms
licence held by the applicant.
Note A firearm for which a temporary international firearms licence is issued
need not be registered (see s 156 (3)).
