    Finally granted my second sub the other day.
    Delighted, 22 bolt action for a 22 modern sporting rifle!

    Took over 3 months for the sub, but still delighted.

    What are talking about, an AR15?

    The better half just got her grant notice for her 1st .22 rifle within 10 days in Ennis...:eek:
    Hats off to the Ennis AGS on this one!

    I've no complaints with AGS in Clare, very quick to process paperwork. They can be a bit stingy on ammunition allowances though.

    Final Update.

    License grant letter arrived today, 44 days in total, happy, happy :D:D

    What we all need now is abolition of the 5k limit or at least extending it to inter county travel. Clubs may not open for a bit but at least I could fly fish.

    I'm over 3 months waiting for a shotgun licence. Got a letter stating the conditions that I must adhere to so the grant letter mustn't be too far off now.

    It's a restricted firearm.

    I've to keep it disassembled so as to be ineffective when not in use and bits stored in two separate safes. (This condition can be a pain in the hole. Some guns are easier to disassemble than others.)

    I've to have a monitored alarm etc. and it must be switched on when the house is unoccupied (which it would be anyway).

    I've to transport it to and from the range in a locked metal container. (I've an old lightweight safe that I chain into the boot when I'm heading to the range. It takes a minute to put in so it's no big deal.)

    Can't leave it unattended in a vehicle (as if I'd be doing that anyway).

    That's it. I've those conditions on other restricted firearms too.

    Well THAT wasn't too painful at all.Got the restricted license for the Mini14 today in the post!:D Applied in March...

    With the usual conditions...Store it in a safe ...[Duh!]...Transport it in an inaccessible way to access it in a car....Etc. How does this work with a crewcab pickup?Chucking them in the cargo bay isn't very smart either.

    All in all,a good day today.:)
