casts_by_fly Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 funny enough, I just mine through the letter box today with my open conditions. I've had mine for 14 months now, though I've been shooting for 20 years. It is open for all of the guns on the ticket. Thanks, Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warlock Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Rule of thumb for an open grant is after about 1 year, However... it has been known that an open licence has been granted on an initial application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casts_by_fly Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 east yorks said that they normally don't even look at it until you've had it 3 years or have a really good reason like a pest business. However, given that I have more experience than most 3 year FAC holders, they were okay with it. Thanks, Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
