Applying for licence tomorow

Odysseus

Hi all, I'm collecting written permission from a second land owner in the morning, I already have the first in writing. I plan on going straight to my local station then. So I will have the written permission from two land owners, and a receipt from the gunshop. Its a .22 break barrel air-rifle I'm applying for a cert for. This is my first time to apply have I got all the stuff I need? Is there anything else I need to make the application?

Cheers.

Good luck hope it goes well for you.

You should be oK with what you now have.

Best of luck and hope you don't have to wait to long for the license.

Odysseus

Cheers lads, thanks. It was just a neurotic check to make sure I wasn't forgetting anything. The local gunshop reckons it takes about 3 months for the process up here. I'm in Louth.

Shooting insurance eg IFA Countryside or CAI (unless you have NARGC) would be desirable IMO

if your living with your parents , then a letter from the householder to give you permission to keep a firearm in their home may be asked for;)

These do individual membership and you don't need to be in a club and you only need one of them NOT both. A lot of Gardai look for insurance cover too.

And best of luck with the application

I D might also be an idea
Good luck,i'm sure you wont have any trouble

bazza888

any idea which is best to join cai or ifa?

bunny shooter

IFA ! great discounts on phone etc

Change over phone rental and ya get FREE membership for 12 months

the insurance you get would be a help trying get permission in new places to shoot!i pressume it covers injury to farm animals which i think would have some farmers more at ease for you to hunt

Exactly and they all know about IFA

cool really helpfull as i was worrying where i would get 300e to joing a club,after buying rifle, safe,scope, etc.im happy now.

Dealer who sold you stuff should have advised you of this

Insurance is very important for you and for landowners peace of mind.

Think IFA Countryside is €70 per year but the discounts available are very good and €70 is just over €1 per week which is cheap insurance

bazza888

ts brill at 70e and 50e if you do a direct debit!everyone i asked before today said join a club to get insured!id love to but didnt have the money for it!so i can now be insured and have peace of mind.

bunny shooter

Clubs are an option too.

Traditional "game" clubs are usually NARGC insured which including club membership and insurance would usually be around €100 per year.

Shooting ranges membership could cost anything up to €500 for the 1st year and €275ish thereafter, which would include insurance too.

As an individual IFA or CAI offer good rates too

bazza888

the gun club where i am is 300 for the first year 150 after that,but is mostly shotguns.if i had 300 to spare id join!so i think ifa is the way for me at the moment

Odysseus

Well I have just applied now. I was told they would ring me in 7-10 days with the Super's decision at that point they will then send the paperwork to Dublin. I was told that if the Super grants my request I will then have to get a gun safe before the licence would be granted.

All the best BUT I am waiting 3 x months on my latest application - phone call to Super on Tuesday to see what's happeneing

All depends on efficiency and attitude of your Super & FAO. MY FAO is not the problem tbh it's the Super

clivej

It's taken 8 weeks for the Garda in the village to check the gun details are correct. Now it's gone up to the Super for approval so this is week 9.

No6

I'm at 6 weeks for them to check the details of my gun, has now been sent to Dublin (or so I am told), wait paitently for another few weeks!!! Anybody know if they will issue licences under the old system one year or will they make us wait for the new three year licences, supposedly due in August??
