Thread: Firearm licencing

The delays aren't everywhere, a female friend received her first time licence in just under four weeks.

Was she an aussie

I am currently getting the run around with the Arms office - my licence expires Sunday - no vetting appointments made yet so no way it will be renewed in time. Arms office won't tell me what that means for me from Sunday in terms of pest control on the farm or hunting - I was previously told I could request a letter stating that I had applied on time and it would effectively act as an extension - trying to request the letter and being told oh your application is in process and is just waiting on vetting - so wait for that.
weathers changing, word has it that a few regions are starting to get the early roars now.... don't want to miss out again!

I requested and email saying mine was still valid and they sent me one no problems

i received an email from nicole yesterday. my issue was that allot of acts policy and reporting was done on facebook only.
i received confirmation that this would be resolved as i among many refuse to ever use it.
possibly the first time a politician has actually replied over an issue

Is it a coincidence that people are going through the same rigmarole in Aussie?

What region?

I applied end of January. Not a peep yet.

Had a change-of-address security inspection recently. Vetting chap (very pleasant and easy to deal with) said he’s currently being sent applications from last June to work through.

He did reckon there had been quite a few delays getting the ‘new’ computer-based system up and running and everyone trained up, but that it was all-go now.

When I was talking to the license people they said not all areas had vetting people and I was lucky cause our area had one

My referees have their interviews at the end of the month. I thought they'd want to see me at the same time, but apparently not.

Not sure he believed me or not ....

Fuk pretty soon your going to not be fit and proper if you have dr seuse books or a mister potato head sitting around
