The time in December/start of January does not count due to holidays.

Have you got an acknowledgement of your application?

Ah yes, you have, cheque was cashed.

Ring them up or send them an email, won't hurt to ask where your application is in the system.

Considering we worked during the entire Christmas and New Year days apart from 3 days inbetween it was incredibly frustrating that the entire world was not responding.

I cant believe It, im actually sat in my house and theres a knock on the door, I open and out the blue ,theres the fire arms liason officer stood at my front door.

We chatted in the lounge , ive changed my lbr revolver to a .223 straight pull and we also chatted about ammo how much to own and buy.

Looked at the safe and ammo storage and happy with that ,there was no pulling it off the walls, coupled with another chat at the front door, and he said probably wait 3 weeks for certificate to come in post.
Cant believe it, was only moaning to myself an hour before thinking theres another week gone by.

Im so pleased, :shakeshout: clapclap
