If licensing was to be done by a private enterprise then you can guarantee it will cost us at the very least double what we pay now. Many may be willing to pay that and surely many would not and they then may just use a firearm illegally. Obviously, the more licence holders there are the better it is for all of us.

    Also, I'm sure there are thousands of firearms licences that are processed as quickly as they can be and you never hear about it. We tend to hear about the ones which aren't because that's the nature of the internet and fair enough too.
    Maybe that is true but in the last 3 years I have-

    Waited since Dec 2019 for an endorsement applic to be processed - still waiting
    Had wrong info on which B-cats I hold EVERY inspection
    Been called by some popo fuckwit asking if I had handed in my AR's in the confiscation - I said "What do your records show?" He said it must be a different department, I said there is only one department
    -this after I had expressly gone to my local FO and got a printout to prove it

    I now will no longer deal with the popo by phone as there is no record and they have consistently been spasmodic wankstains

    I now have zero respect for the police and will offer them zero cooperation in all future dealings

    Other people may well have great experiences with them
