Constabulary-by-Constabulary: how long did it take you to get your ticket?

[Outlaw]

Sent my renewal and address change off to TVP in October,cert ran out on 16/1/13 so I rang to chase yesterday and asked for a temp ticket to be told my app hadnt arrived FFS! My cheque hasnt been cashed so now I have had to put guns into storage rather than them issue a temp one like I had last time they were late about it. At least I have moved to an area who have a fair FEO, Mr King. Copious amounts of tea/coffee and choccie hobnobs for the safe visit I think .

My next door neighbour has just applied for his (TVP) - Steve said 6 weeks is the current new issue time.

Did you send it reg post tony? Should be able to chase it via the tracking #

I heard (so it may not be accurate) that Notts are taking approximately 28 weeks for new applications!!! 7 months! We have so many new shooters that are desperate to get their first gun and just can't.

It's actually really sad to see all that budding enthusiasm go to waste.

 

[Salopian]

I suggest that Notts. people who are BASC members contact BASC's firearms department. 28 weeks is totally unacceptable.

 

[Julesy]

Good suggestion, I will pass the advice on.

Cheers

Just had the FEO out yesterday afternoon, got the all clear on cabinet etc, really nice fella, had some good advice for a newbie like me, he has said I should receive my cert in the post in the next 2-3 weeks, I handed the application in on the 7th jan so all told not too bad a wait.....as long as it does turn up of course!

Thames valley, by the way!

The last two renewals have been back with me within 3 days of the expirary date!
The last inspection was carried out out two weeks after I had the certificate renewed.
Excellent service from Lincolnshire police!

Another constabulary-by-constabulary test to this is how long it takes your local plod to turn around a European Firearms Pass (EFP).

We're doing a forum shooting trip to Italy (Brescia) in April and the various members are experiencing varying turnaround times from one week to .... ?

Avon and Somerset police: posted application on 21st June, certificate granted last week September.

 

[Rich H]
