LICENCES GRANTED !!!!!!!

BountyHunter

Have been told that my licences have been approved but they couldn't be completed on the pulse system as our club has no pulse id yet (applied for 2 weeks ago and still no word) apparently "computer says noooo"
Which is confusing as another member recieved his papers today (from a neighbouring district) so how come he can get his details on pulse but mine can't?
Local FO said he'll look into it.....To be continued

That makes for very good sense I reckon. A very easy solution, which I'd never thought of!

i think its typical irish thick-mickery at it best , having a 6 shot gun thats illegal to load to its capacity , this is the sort of s***e that has the irish a laughing stock around the world :mad:

I suppose the rep bodies will be trying to get the SI amended to reflect reality more closely?

Received mine this evening as well, 308 and 22 hornet. They seem to be rattling along with them. Hope it continues for the rest of you guys

No, We just had a ring around and we decided it was a great idea and should have been done years ago :rolleyes:

We actually only wanted it to be two rounds but the Gardai insisted on five. I ask you?

Seriosuly though, is anyone getting the sense the Guidelines might be the way the SI could be revised to reflect?

The guidelines say exactly what's in the SI. You need to read the bit on page 9 in conjunction wil Annex F.

So I'm not sure what exactly you mean.

Yeah it's a bit, well, crazy alright, I suppose a similar argument would be, your Fiat Panda can do 150kmph but you can't drive it over 120kmph, or you can but you're f*cked if you're caught.

got both licenses (shotgun & .270) in the post yesterday :D:D

Excellent analogy G17, must remember that one

has anyone else got permission for a Mod under the new regime?

I applied for one on my 22lr and .223.
Both licences have been approved but it doesn't state anything on the letter, waiting to see if it's on the licence.

Hopefully all went well, they probably would have called you if they weren't giving them to you.

i put in my applications tonight and the firearms officer dropped a bombshell , she said that it will be reapplications every three years and not a simple renewal from now on, is this true ? this is what she has been told from up the food chain .

fat-tony

That's pretty much the situation rowa - reapplication every three years. Need to show good reason for having the firearm(s) and demonstrate usage where they are target models.

Any licences granted in Donegal yet?

It wasn't me!

Got a text to tell me there's post at home. Hoping this is the licence (and they've skipped over this letter of receipt lark). Will know around half two. Can't wait. Cheque will be going in the post tonight if it's good news.

Feck no, could be a bank statement!

If it has Blackrock as the return address you can be confident of what it is, unless it is a speeding fine.

To the lads who've got their licences congrats. I was wondering what ammo amounts did you apply for and what were you allowed?
Cheers.

No mention of ammo Limits on grant Letter, will have to wait untill we recieve actual Licence to know ammo limit.

Cass

It is the same story with the moderator, no mention of it on the grant letter but no phone call or contact from the Gardai saying there was a problem with it. So i'm assuming it went through as requested on my application and the same with the ammo amounts i requested. I do alot of target shooting so required large enough amounts of each calibre but nothing ridiculous. I'll know in a week or two when i get the actual licence back.

Firearm - Calibre - Amount - Purpose

---

Rifle - .22 - 1000 - Target
Rifle - .22 - 500 - Hunting
Rifle - 6.5 - 500 - Target
Rifle - .308 - 500 - Target
Rifle - 30-06 - 240 - Hunting
Shotgun - 12g - 1000 - Clays
Shogun - 12g - 300 - Hunting
Pistol - 9mm - 1000 - Target

Hi Boc101
I applied for 1000 for the clay gun,
250 rounds for the .223
250 rounds for the .270
and 500 rounds for the semi-auto.
Dont actually know yet what is on the licence, hope to get the cards this week.
Im sorry i didnt apply for more on the clay gun. A friend on mine put 5000 rounds on his, but the CPO called to him, to check he had adequate storage for all the ammo.
Cheers

Sent my cheque off to An Post last Tuesday. Lodged on Friday, so I hope the licence is on its way;)

no news might be good news;)
Cheers.

Mine went in a month ago, met the FO friday told me he sent them into the super on thursday, so he should have them back tomorrow and input to pulse then. Hard to believe but as you say at least its something.
Cheers.
