Thread: Firearm licencing

Update:

After my last post where I had given up being patient and was trying to get hold of some answers I finally received an email response from the Police saying - "your application has been accepted and you will hear from the vetting officer shortly to arrange interviews..."

Well that was outstanding, considering we had done the interviews some 4 months previously. Naturally I pointed this out. ***eye-roll moment*** I then received an email saying the application was now waiting to be audited followed by a second email a week later stating it was all approved and to expect the licence to arrive in about two weeks.

Two weeks and two days later on Monday of this week, my daughter finaly received her 5-year FAL in the mail. Time taken from woah to go - ten and a half months.

It is interesting to note that the date of expiry is approximately the date when I beleive the application was finally approved on the 21st July 2021, not back-dated to the time of the interviews or (thankfully) the original application date in September 2020. Phew!

I'm very proud to add that for our family that's finally a "full house" so to speak... my wife, son, daughter and myself all now hold licences. YESSSSSS!

Job done.

Next: Renewals for the wife and I in 2023. Better start the process in January next year.
