pauly-j Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Put in for my sgc on the 4th of march and had the visit on the 18th of april. Now, as I hate waiting at the best of times I decided to give those lovely people at wymondham fire arms department a bell to see how thing were going. A nice lady told me that I was number 35 in the pile and it was still going to take a few weeks. Hacked off is an understatement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pauly-j Posted May 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Rub it in why don't ya. Its not the waiting for it to drop through the letter box that's the killer, its the fact that I don't know if they are gonna grant me the dam thing.

DuncanH Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Mine took five weeks after my visit, was getting worried it wasn't going to be granted as the FLO said it would be 2-3 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
