reeking rabbits 15 Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 Congratulations, just out of interest how long did you have to wait? There seems to be massive differences on how long you wait depending on where you live. I've had my interview and am now waiting (not very patiently ha ha) for my .22 and hmr licence to arrive!

Operator 3 Posted June 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 I put my forms in about 6 weeks ago, had the interview about 4 weeks ago and was told it would be 8 to 10 weeks so I was well chuffed with it being half the time. With regards to the open ticket I provided lots of evidence of my firearms experience and training, spoke to the FEO on the interview and emailed a request. Sussex police have been very helpful, before I applied I emailed a number of questions about what I needed to include on the form and clarification on how to include all my permissions. They replied promtly and it made it much easier. There is nothing more frustrating than the wait for that letter popping through the door! Quote Link to post

What have you put in for? The 2nd most frustrating thing is having permission for a number of calibers when you can't afford to buy them all! I've opted to get the 2 rim fires now as I've got a couple of scopes and a bipod that I can use with them, then when I've got more money I can get my perfect .243 set up (Well an affordable one at least...)
