sec.35 What firearms licence (instructor) authorises
A firearms licence (instructor) authorises the licensee to possess and use any weapon, of the category endorsed on the licence, at an approved range or elsewhere, to provide an approved training course. However, the licence authorises the firing of a weapon only if the firing is done at an approved range for the category of weapon by a person entitled to use the weapon at the range. See sections 52 (2) and 53 and part 4 , division 5 of the Act for supervision and other requirements at an approved range. The holder of a firearms licence (instructor) must not allow anyone doing an approved training course provided under the licence to possess or use a weapon that is not supplied by the holder. Maximum penalty—10 penalty units.
