Thread: New FAL waiting time

When I first got my license in 2017 it took only 3 weeks for someone to check my storage and another 3 weeks for the license to arrive.
Are these long waiting time a new thing or was it like this 5 years ago and I just got lucky? Unbelievable that a renewal can take years.
I only got the license back then because a friend who was running a hunting business told me to get it before they making it harder.
Glad I did from what I hear, although it took me 5 years to get my own first rifle.
