Thread: Firearms licence waiting times

Totally off topic, but same thing really.
I went into town on Tuesday and renewed my drivers licence. No big deal, except having to get a Drs medical because of my HT, usual paperwork and mugshot taken. My new one arrived today, 3 working days after submitting.
I'd hazard a guess to say that there's a hell of a lot more people renewing drivers licences than FA licences. Sure, no background checks, interviews or anything else, but that's a pretty good turnaround. Why does it take so long for your FA licence to be printed etc when it's the same process
