    Handed one in on Friday p.m. Garda at the desk, had a fairly intense review. Said we'll give you a call if we need any clarification. Here's hoping it's a smooth ride!

    If the "S" is not on the license then there is no authorisation for it.

    However it may be a simple oversight so a call to his FO should solve it given he already had it.

    well folks,he got the second sub license today,but again there was no s.had the s on the first license,then subbed for a new one,(.22 lr for .22lr) got the license with no s,then sent in a letter to issuing super pointing out there was no s,today got the second one,with no s …..so does this mean he is now not allowed to have a silencer.?if so any ideas why is was not permitted on the new gun? or should he again contact super/fo.thanks

    Contact the FO and see was the S marked on pulse first, it is not an unusual occurrence for a licence to be issued without the S in error.
    After ascertaining whether it is a misprint or not then question the Super further as to why the silencer was refused, and if it is a misprint the FO will be able to initiate a reprint and you should have the new licence in a few days.

    Never forget, the end goal is zero firearms of any type.

    If the Mod was refused he is entitled to a refusal letter. One of the few entitlements we have in the process.

    Eventually got my grant letter, one month to the day from submission. In the interim, I had a phone call from the station seeking the DoB of one of my referees. Eventually that was sorted out through "PULSE". Two weeks later a very pleasant Garda Sargent turns up at my door to check my "security" arrangements. This has been done previously on two occasions. Don't they keep any of the data from each inspection? A bit frustrating as I've had firearms for in excess of forty years. From speaking with the Garda a great deal of it is box ticking in Dublin. Hopefully it'll be much easier in December when my other firearms are due for renewal.
