Air gun license how long ?

I'm new to boards and was just wondering how long does an air gun license take to come back in the Carlow area .i got a letter with my application number on it saying it would take 3 months but different people are telling different things and just want to find out ? Does anyone know ?

Welcome to the forum.

Last i heard Carlow applications were being sent to Portlaoise to be processed. Don't know if that is still the case. We also have a new Firearms Officer in Portlaoise. She is thorough but doing well. Applications are a little slower than when under the old FO, but waiting time is around two weeks.

So if it's still the same then you may get word by the middle of the month. As for the 3 month thing, its a standard response because by law An Gardaí must have a decision made and relayed to you within 3 months.

It can be like waiting for Christmas.
