Marksman 934 Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 Howdy fellas! Im Darryl aka Marksman Some of you might know me better from the air gun section, but I've just recently received my FAC & SGC so will be popping in and out of this section now too. I've just bought a Ruger 10/22 & a 12g Bettinsoli Diamond X O/U. Also apparently I'm a very lucky man to have been granted an open ticket on my first issue. Take it easy!! Darryl 1 Quote Link to post

paulus 26 Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 very unusual to get an open ticket upon initial application without there being extenuating circumstances (work etc) i had mine opened after 3 months and that was only because my flo went to see her boss to put my case forward in person. That was a lot of years ago now, mentoring seems to be the norm these days, if your ticket contains the words "on land that the holder has lawfull authority to shoot" then it is open. if it says, "on land deemed suitable by the chief of police or their representative" then its closed. good luck and enjoy your shooting.
