Yes...as I mentioned in my first post in this thread he is looking to get the exemption, he just wants something he can use now. I had a number of members here who read my comment in the first post and kindly advised how they went about applying successfully for the P endorsement which I will discuss with him after the lockdown.

As mentioned he had an E cat before. He's a stand up guy and wouldn't break the law.

Having had E cat for pest control appears to make getting the P easier, also appears to determine to some extent what rifles/mags you can buy on P. I was speaking to one of the sales crew at Guncity Napier who told me a commercial pest controller he knows who had standard licence before the change, is now only allowed 10 round mags for his new ar15. Other guys who had e cat for pest control can get 30 round mags no problem, presumably because demonstrating prior need? Possibly the Guncity guy was mistaken, seems pretty odd to me.
