Just had mine this morning,

 

Was just something of a chat about safety aspects of gun handling, safe shots and not taking unsafe shots ie no backstops.

Didn't get the idea they're out to trip you up, just get a measure of your character and level of common sense.

Chatted about what I'd realistically be allowed and what I'd applied for (in my case both the same), clarification on a couple of medical points.

Checked cabinet and security arrangements and security awareness, discussed storage requirements for ammo, bolt and 'long arm'(rifle) and how it differs from Shotgun cartridges.

Then went through the two different certificates and the conditions on each and the differences between the two and explanation of how they work regarding buying/selling weapons.

 

That was about it I think.
