Thread: Firearm licencing

I submitted late January and last week my 2 references have been contacted and asked to fill out a questionnaire. The cogs are turning.

Don't get too excited, I submitted my renewal in early December, my references were emailed the questionnaire at the start of Feb (returned same day) - My licence has now expired and no other contact from police to book interviews etc. I have tried chasing up police but all I get is that its in process with the vetting officer... where in the pile though?

I applied around a year ago give or take, my referees sent their responses in a couple of months back. I rang our local arms guy a couple of weeks back and asked what was happening. He has been looking in to it, interviewed one of my referees today, and has made an appt to interview the wife then me next week at ours.
I was polite when I rang him asking what the hold up was, and this guy has been great, apologetic and really friendly, and kept in touch well over the last couple of weeks. So I'm happy, but I reckon had I had an attitude, things would be different. Just my 2c worth
