Well, there were less such incidents in NSW and other States when civilians were allowed to carry pistols for self defence and a shotgun or rifle could be in the car with no restrictions.

Absolutely, just prior to the new firearms laws being introduced there was a regulation in NSW that magazines had to be removed, but this took no account of firearms that had non-detachable magazines.

then you'd be wrong. Having a firearms license is a HUGE restriction to random people driving around with guns

Saturday nights were best when the Holden was revved up and blokes stashed their hardware under the seat ready for a shootout. Cops were gunned down and carjackers fired first to grab a car leaving bodies down the Pacific Highway. Eoin was there on his stock-horse, firing the .303 one handed and finishing off with a shot from under the horse's belly. Hollywood soon got the idea.

You’re right, licences are a huge restriction, that’s one of the reasons why car jacking and home invasions are more common.
,
Then tell me about all the car jacking incidents before the introduction of the new gun laws?

Australia is one of the few countries in the world where the Government says that self defence is not allowed with a firearm.

The hypocritical politicians do not refuse armed security for themselves.

.

'Firearms Act 1936, and several amendments to existing legislation including the Pistol License Act 1927 and Police Offences Act 1901, resulted in a change.
Previously, licenses had only been required for pistols with a barrel less than nine inches. Licenses were now required for any concealable gun, regardless of the length of the barrel. Firearms dealers were also required to keep record of the distribution and sale of pistols. The changes came into force on 1 January 1937 and a number were soon charged and convicted under the legislation'.
So there is no linkage between pistol availability: safety on the roads. Except in US where mass guns is mass crime rate.

Rubbish, until 1996 many people carried licenced pistols and business men who had large sums of cash were encouraged by the police to have a pistol.
A mate and I had a nice little earner going with doing annual inspections and test firing of their pistols and the supply of fresh factory ammunition .Among our customers were banks, bank managers, accountants, solicitors, real estate agents, cafe, garage and small business owners.
Sydney Pistol Club was formed in the 1950s catering for people who had “Possess, use and carry” pistol licences.
I had both a Pistol Dealer’s Certificate and a carry licence for many years, and there is no glamour in carrying a pistol, frankly it’s a bloody nuisance.on a hot day you need to wear a coat unless you have a pocket pistol and they were a nuisance also, this was in the days of heavy all steel pistols.

When I was younger my father carried a 303 in his ute and when you walked past the pub you would see most of the utes had rifles in them, and most of the utes were unlocked. I also remember the town sergeant firing his rifle into the air to break up fights between the locals.
