Western Australian Current Acts Western Australian Current Acts (1) The constrained
person must give up possession of all firearm items and firearms
authorisations held by the constrained person —
(a) to a
prescribed person; and
(b) in a
prescribed manner; and
(c)
within a prescribed period after the making of the PBO.
(2) A firearm item or
firearms authorisation given up under subsection (1) must be dealt with in the
prescribed manner.
(3) If the constrained
person —
(a) was
lawfully in possession of a firearm item or firearms authorisation before the
PBO was made; and
(b)
gives up possession of the firearm item or firearms authorisation under
subsection (1),
the constrained person
does not breach the PBO only because he or she is in possession of the firearm
item or firearms authorisation for the period necessary to comply with
subsection (1).
(4) When making a PBO
the court may shorten the prescribed period within which the constrained
person must give up possession of firearm items and firearms authorisations.
