Thread: Firearm licencing

3mths since putting in my renewal and still nothing been done to process it.
They told me the backlog is huge and still lots in the que to get done.
I asked if they planned on doing something as 3mths to wait is criminal. Zero f**ks given by them. They just dont give a rats ass.

When I also asked if any new applications were being processed, they told me no. All new applications are going to the bottom of the pile and they could be looked at possibly 6mths to 1yr away.

My son wants to put his application in asap and I asked if he would be able to do the MSC course part of the licence before they process his application. Short answer was No. The MSC needs a police authorisation number for them to invite him to do the course.

I don't think they liked it when I suggested he will apply in Dunedin as I heard its a lot easier and quicker to get down there....
