    40 man how often do they run that?
    Hope you get good public service from your department down there.
    Seems not so good from what I hear in other parts of the country.

    I think they run one per month. The Arms Officer here is certainly good to deal with, responds quickly to questions and is approachable. I was a little surprised with how 'light' the course was prior to the test. There was the standard video and then the guy taking it took us through the 7 Rules and highlighted particular areas of them, linked them to experiences he had had etc. - but I thought for some reason it would be a bit more in-depth... There was only the one time the guy taking it engaged his audience with asking a person in the front row a direct question, and she got it wrong. Potentially it would better to ask people more specific questions prior to the test to highlight certain things. Even if he had picked me to ask a question and I ended up looking a bit of a prick, at least it highlights the danger and do's/don'ts which everyone else learns from - particularly as there were quite a lot of younger people in the group (late teens / early 20's). But there you go - I'm just starting out so what do I know! Just my perception/opinion of the way the course could potentially be improved...
