Firearm Licence Question

    Hi folks,

    Recently sent my application in, I'm changing my over and under for a new semi auto.

    My local station said it would be back within a week as it didn't need to go to HQ, only in to the Superintendant. Three weeks now and still nothing.

    Anyone any idea how long it should take?

    Thanks,
    John

    That was on the old licence I presume?

    I hope I have it sorted by the 1st Sept... Anyway the firearms officer is ringing me back this evening, I rang and left him a message!

    my semi auto gave up not so long ago, 5 months after it was bought new,:rolleyes:
    got it replaced and got a new semi auto, brought my licence to HQ and my application, 4 days later and new licence through the door!!:D
    id say hound them until its back or you could miss out on the 1st!

    It's as simple as that then? Even if its a lake that isn't listed on the form?? :confused:

    Cause I'm in Wicklow and there aint that many lakes around here, none that I know of anyway.
