Extension dates poll

rrpc

I've been wondering how many people have got extensions to the earliest date possible (31/10/09) as it appears to me that quite a number of us have.

Maybe because we all have restricted stuff or something , but I'll stick up a poll and see how it turns out.

I've not done this before and I need this to be a multiple entry one as some people have more than one cert and more than one date.

OK, that didn't work so well, I wanted people to have multiple choices (got that bit alright) and more than one vote (that didn't happen) so if anyone else thinks they can have a go, please do so

Great Minds DO think alike! I was going to do this as well just now!

Mine are extended until the 31/OCT/2009 I have restricted stuff, just in case you need to know for stats. It would be interesting to know if the people who have dates passed the 31st of Oct have restricted firearms in their portfolios

31/10, no restricted gear (are Air Pistols restricted?)

rrpc

I'm a special case

I have two pulse ID's and one restricted item (it's not actually restricted, but that has to be asserted) so I have two renewal dates: one for each pulse ID.

They are until proven otherwise.

Ah, well it is being sold off so shouldn't be an issue in the future!

You're missing something.
You can apply a maximum of three months in advance.

And that is the point that people seem to be missing.

For those with long extensions the Gardaí will not want to see their applications until 3 months before their extensions expire. It will be difficult enough dealing with the applications that are tight for time without having non urgent applications clogging the system.

+1

Also those who are making substitutions or other variations to an existing cert may apply for that at any time regardless of when their extension runs out.

Got one letter Wednesday. Still awaiting one other.

Who voted 31st July 2010?

According to the SI, the last date was 30th June, so noone should have got that date. I put it in because the Act stated it would finish on the 31st July.

The poll results so far indicate that just over half of us have something restricted or something deemed to be restricted. To date that appears to be either:

A pistol of any kind or
A semi auto shotgun or
A semi auto rifle of any calibre.

It also seems that anyone with three or more firearms also has one of the above, leading some observers to conclude (incorrectly to my mind) that it's the quantity rather than (or as well as) the quality

Our man in Havana

A semi auto rifle of any calibre.

ORLY?

I has a semi auto rifle and got to 31/05.

I said: "to date that appears to be"

Not that stupid you know

But now of course it appears not to be, unless someone comes on and proves that it depends

Well you know which box to tick on your application so

bigred

Old man's .22 and shotgun both put out till 31Jan. He doesnt want the hassle of getting a safe, so I've plenty of time to get an app in for his .22. Mine is 31Oct. Will have to convince them my pistol is designed for Olympic Disciplines (which it is BTW) :rolleyes:

Sparks

Bigred, you're one of the few I know who can actually show that their pistol is designed for the Olympics because that's the manufacturer's design brief!

SpannerMonkey

what kind of pistol have you bigred

Well single shot air pistols don't tend to have a lot of other uses. Especially ones with foot long barrels* and one-handed grips.

31/05 for all 4.

Happyhunter

30/06/2010 Nice one!

Are people still receiving these extension letters - or put it another way, have people received some, but not all of their expected letters? I got the extension letter for my rifle a week ago, but my pistol letter still has not arrived:(

i have 4 firearms and iv gotten 2 renewal letters for two of them posted on different dates, 1 letter for one of the other ones and none for the last one.

has this happened anyone else?

all the letters i got where for the 31 october so i just reapplied for the 4 firearms together.

.243 express

31st October 2009 ...No restricted stuff(3guns)

ormondprop

we got five of them on the same day, all expire on 31st of january, went into the garda station to get the forms and the garda chatted away to me for ages explaining what she could about it, she told me not to bother applying until about christmas as they have too many to process before ours and wont do anything with ours till about then anyway, and just incase its put aside or lost while they process others, that we'd be better off holding out for a while before bringing them in

I wouldn't be waiting around asking questions on here - go to your FO urgently and ask/write looking for the letter or a copy of one that may have gotten lost in the post, as technically your fourth is not licenced now...

when i dropped off the forms for the others and that one he told me not to worry about it, and i brought up the same point you made and i was told its a new system and there are bound to be glitches!!!!:(
