    I can't believe it the letter for payment came in the post today. That's the fastest yet. Put in on the 22nd of December so that's only a few days if you take out all the holiday days.

    Happy days ahead. :)

    Lads got a licence back for a shotgun in 3 days. Handed it in the 7th of October got it back the 10th of October. Actually thought there was a mistake I was going to say something but sure if its not broke don't fix it;)

    The city station with a FO on duty a couple of times a week. But as aways every new license application must go up to the Super to get signed off.
    Well done KK firearms section and all involved my thanks to you all.

    I'm the same clive, I got a letter saying my firearm application has been recieved and that I'd hear from them within 3 months on the 3rd(monday) and I got the approval/payment letter yesterday(6th) only 3 days, I couldnt believe it:D under the old system I always had to wait three months to the day before I'd get a licence, its like it was approved but they were waiting the 3 months onpurpose before they'd send it to me.


  • Registered Users Posts: 210 ✭✭243Xpress


    That gives me hope that i will get out for a shot before the season closes as i

    Being from Beretta I'm sure it will be a great gun. They have been doing this for 500 years and don't screw up to often.
