Yep, my school friends and I used to haunt K-Mart and Mick Simmons after school back in the late 1960's just to drool over and handle the rifles. Saturdays we'd get on the train to Sydney and troll up and down George St and do pretty well the same thing although there were a lot more guns and knives on offer. Hard to believe you could just walk into the gun shops and pick up various weapons as a schoolboy and the staff were only too willing to spend the time with you. When all the new rules came in I remember having to spend around six weeks or so doing the written and practical courses for my gun licence which included pistols and rifles. Even today you have to do so many shoots each year to maintain your gun licence.
