elmar fudd Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 ive finally managed to get my firearms application sorted, having held a sgc for 15 years, applied for a .17hmr for pest control and a .243 for fox and deer control, put both rifles on two farms totalling about 120 acres, so fingers crossed all will be good. just wondering if anyone had a approx turnaround time for their applications, its in staffordshire, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billbob11 Posted September 15, 2022 Report Share Posted September 15, 2022 18months for me for fac grant with d and c. Turn around lot better if needed for occupational needs like farmer, smallholder, gamekeeper,pest controller etc. Was mix up with my application and if I put farmer on paperwork I would have had it 12months ago. But these things happen. Had my home visit the other day and now just waiting for it to pop up in the post. So really if application is for sport/targets rather than a job I believe I would be waiting a lot longer than I have. That said I have not got the cert yet so couple be lot longer yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurch003 Posted September 29, 2022 Report Share Posted September 29, 2022 I had interview, ref checks the next day... got excited... got frustrated... gave up thinking it would ever arrive... then licence came through the post 6 months later from D&C- hopefully yours is better than that !
