FLATTOP 5,139 Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 After you send off your money and form it can take up to six weeks for the firearms officer to contact you for a meeting to check you out and see your cabinet if he is happy you get your certificate in a matter of days.

SportingShooter 0 Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 It can take as long as it takes!! It depends entirely on your Police force, they all seem to have different targets. Its a lottery SS Quote Link to post

I think FLATTOP has said it all. You can "try" and hurry them up by phoning them but this might be seen as you been a pain in the ass so they might put your application at the bottom of the pile. Sometimes its better to wait ! to be impatient can p1ss them off..................... Regards Quote Link to post
