4 Months!

[Tanguero]

Finally, 4 months after sending my application in, Kent police have granted my SGC!! There were no complications or particular delays - it just took a while!

For those in the same boat of endless waiting my timescale went like this;

Application sent                               28th October 2014
FEO visit (recomended aproval)     31st December 2014
Firearms unit 'manager' approved   26th February 2015
Arrived                                               4th March 2015
 
Still - got there in the end, let the fun commence!

Go find a good instructor if you haven't already done that, he will be able to give you some advice before you buy a gun. It's all too easy for a novice to get the wrong gun for the job!

Thanks, I have been filling my time waiting with having lessons so I am just dying to get out on my own and get some practice in! I have a pretty fair idea as to what I want in the way of a gun, but fortunately at least a couple of local grounds have guns I can hire now I have got my ticket.

I only been waiting 6weeks so far but feels like ages since i sent my application off! Not heard from FEO yet!

Don't listen to any of the above!!

It's half the fun, buying and selling at least 8 guns in your first year or two until you find one that fits, let alone suits you!

;-) haha!

Buy a Mirook, you know it makes sense
