Hi,
I have been shooting for over a year now and have my own winchester 101 diamond grade that I unfortunately still have to keep at my local gun club.
I waited a good 4 months for my PFO visit, all went well was told license would be in the post then waited another 6 weeks and was told again there was another delay in posting out and getting together the licenses. In this time i had a minor incident where i reported a dangerous driver for tailgating and they made a counter allegation to which nothing was done as there was no evidence on either side.
I then was told my license was not sent out as this had flagged up on my license and just needed to be reviewed by firearms office manager. I thought fair enough at leastbyhe system is working.
I have now waited a further 6 months with no movement and when i query this i am given an apology and told there is a large backlog in the review area and thenmanager has been informed.
It has now been a full year since i applied for my license and 8 months since my visit and am now completely frustrated as i cannot really shoot outside of my own club.
Has anyone been in a similar situation that can give advice on what else i can do. I now even knownof friends that have had their licenses within 3 months ! Hampshire really does just seem to be the slowest department going!
