Western Australian Consolidated Acts Western Australian Consolidated Acts (1) If a person who
has been the holder of a Firearm Licence, Firearm Collector’s Licence,
or Ammunition Collector’s Licence does, while that licence has expired
but is still capable of being renewed under section 9A, anything that is
an offence under this Act but would not have been an offence if the licence
had been renewed immediately after its expiry, that offence is not a crime but
is triable summarily and is punishable by a fine of $2 000 instead of the
penalty that would otherwise apply for the offence.
(2) If a person
commits an offence under section 19(1) and the only firearm or ammunition
concerned is, or is for, a prescribed paintball gun, that offence is not a
crime but is triable summarily and is punishable by a fine of $2 000
instead of the penalty that would otherwise apply for the offence.
