    Received my licences for my shot gun and .22 rifle today. Wicklow are very efficient IMO. Very different to Cabinteely when I lived up that way.

    Got my shotgun licence in the post today. Only got 100 rounds though :(

    How many rounds did you apply for? I applied for 1000 :D - I will let you know what I get... only applied earlier in the week.

    Yes, amendments seem free, same expiry date as orig licence, I got the magic "S" I suggest you apply for same, just supply a cover letter. I'll type it out for you if you want


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,920 ✭✭✭Dusty87


    As far as i know tack, if you apply for 's' its a whole new app, another 80spondulies

    That's what I thought too...............if you don't apply for "s" on original application and make a subsequent application for the "s"

    Not the case, I have an "s" put on a licence that was 7 months old, FREE OF CHARGE!

    Must pay her a visit so. Talk nice

    That you may! Being nice opens far more doors than being Rude!;)

    then you can buy a mod for your rifle, She will ask you make of mod you are going to use, who is sold it to you, and what you want it for " ie" shoot on land where horses are kept,

    in fact you could legitimately say you shoot in the field behind the house and you have a young baby. the moderator quietens down the shot not to wake the baby ;)

    i got 100:-( asked for 500. Its stupid because i buy a box of 00semi magnums for foxes, have x amount left over, buy a box for pheasants, box for ducks etc. Very quick tippin the 100mark with left overs from each day.

    Sorted!

    Ya 'cause it's as simple as that :rolleyes:

    What you need to do is write a letter to your Super explaining how much of an ammo limit you would like and explain why you need it. You'll have to have secure storage for what you look for also.

    Then HOPE your Super is a reasonable person ;)


  • Registered Users Posts: 69 ✭✭DJandDeid


    Thanks for that...will have a go!

    Happiness is....
