Ohh i see, that does make sense but surely there is a work around, how about finding some way to match the temp license with a drivers license? then its basically photo ID.

Yup. I have heard of people doing that on here.

Probably too easy to counterfeit a drivers license and then tack on a fake firearms licence number. Heather managed to do it without the photo ID.


The wait sucks but I don't think that it's a hardship unless they are taking more than a month to print it.

Bugger. If you don't hear back from them soon the complaint section will probably help.

Winter could be a good time to get out there. Less people about and if you have warm dry gear should be ok.
