Thread: Firearm licencing

Some facts and figures. It has been 285 days since I applied as a first-time applicant and 72 days since my interview and safe inspection. I've been told I should have the card in roughly a month three times now - I'm halfway through the third. At least last time I was told that the card had actually been ordered - but with the delays so far I'm teetering between hope and despair by the hour. Leaning into the despair right now as I suspect the card has been lost by the post. Otherwise I'm unsure how it can take up to a month for a card to be produced and posted. Anyone have some inside knowledge there?

Good to know it does actually take that long. My 3 weeks will be on Monday. I'll chase up at 4 if not received by then (otherwise I assume I'll be told to wait).
