Three months is a long time.
I applied for two gun licences and had them back in ten days.

couldn't get anyone to answer the phone in the garda station so rang the firearms section. got talking to a nice guy there and he said he'd deal with it. within two hours got a call from my super and said he'd had a word with the firearms sergeant and that it would be processed immediately. i asked him was there anything else needed on my behalf and 'no thanks you have all in order, its something needed on our side of things' so hopefully this will be done soon. i understand they can be under pressure sometimes but sometimes i feel they are just not bothered either. as alot of lads have said before you try to be honest and do things right but you're the first one to be treated like you have done wrong. makes you wonder about our system!

There are two regular lads in the FPU that are very helpful, informative, and fair. Have had to contact them myself on occassion, and the results were almost instant with them keeping in continuous contact with me throughout.

Couldn't speak highly enough of them.

Get your misses to the Post office in the morning to pay the €80 and you'll have the license by Friday.

Cheers. i went for a cz452 22LR. Seemed to be a popular choice. haven't hunted in almost nine years so thought it'd be a good choice to start back with. ;-)

No, not long only applied on 25th feb,dealer reckons it will take 6 weeks.i didn't hear anything at all from them yet,some people say I should get a letter stating that my application has been received but nothing yet.Ha ha waiting for the post everyday alright but it's early days for me.

RICHIE.39

Didn't get any letter other than the one today and had to keep annoying the guards to get it done but at least Im finally there. hopefully you won't have the same trouble as me. best of luck. I'll keep an eye out for your announcement when you get it.
