I'm not based in leicester but mine went really smoothly. He asked a bit about why I had applied for what I had applied for (.22LR, .22 FAC Air and .177 FAC Air). A little about my shooting experience to date and then he went upstairs and gave the cabinet a good tug. One trick question I had been warned about didn't get asked, not sure if it was an urban myth/windup. The one where he asks where you keep the keys... the correct answer is you can't tell him.

Not really, although mine asked why .22LR and I said that I wanted it mainly for rabbits for the pot, so I needed something quiet with little meat damage.

just wanted to know where rifles and ammo kept basicly that was it

took 13 days from form being hand delivered to cert dropping on the mat
