AR-15 rifles, like all semi-automatic rifles, are banned from legal ownership in all states and territories in Australia. The ban on semi-automatic rifles was introduced in 1996 in response to the Port Arthur massacre, in which 35 people were killed. The main weapon used in the attack was an AR-15. The only way somebody can legally own an AR-15/M16-type rifle in Australia is to have a Firearms Collector's Licence and the firearm deactivated (with the barrel plugged up and the action welded shut) or to have a Category C/D Firearms Licence if they are a professional animal culler or a primary producer.

Holsters are generally designed to be used with one hand, allowing the object to be removed and/or replaced with the same hand. To be able to return an item to a holster one-handed, the holster must be made from stiff material that holds its shape, so that the holster won't collapse when the object is no longer inside to give it support.
Holsters are generally attached to a person's belt or waistband, or clipped to another article of clothing. Some holsters, such as ankle holsters, have integrated support.
