    Supposedly meant to be prioritised and done within 2 weeks.

    Mine took a little over a month(which for my district is positively the speed of light).

    Never forget, the end goal is zero firearms of any type.

    S.I. No. 187/1972 - Firearms (Temporary Custody) Order - Firearms seized

    S.I. No. 21/2008 - Firearms (Restricted Firearms and Ammunition) Order 2008 - Firearm types restricted

    Criminal Justice (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2009 - Firearms banned & grandfathered

    S.I. No. 420/2019 - Magazine ban, ammo storage & transport restricted

    Criminal Justice (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2023 - 2023 Firearm Ban (retroactive to 8 years prior)

    Not a sub, but a renewal. Got my grant letter within a few weeks of submission (which was the day after I got it). Paid the day I got my grant letter. Still waiting for my printed license though. License is out end of this month. Getting a bit ansey.


    Do we know what the actual problem with the license printing crowd is? I think I'm going to have to ring them again. I had to do this for all my licenses after I moved house 6 months ago.
