Ring your local FEO?

Spoke to ours before applying (Suffolk) and he was great, guided us through and kept us informed. Have raised a few queries with him since and he has been really helpful.

Its not that simple, averages don't really help, there may be exceptional circumstances, either good or bad, just a few weeks to a year even!

 

Best option is to ring your region and ask.

As above depends on where you live, time of year, how many other requests they've had etc etc. No news is good news in a way. To put your mind at rest I would just contact your local Firearms lot, you'll get number from police website or local police station.
