The UK's Finest Independent Forum for Shooters and Gun Owners. Est 2010.

Not sure how TVP would be with a variation - know form Shooting coleagues that renewals have been very lengthy in getting done since the "Biblical Flood" of last year !

Notified TVP on a Tuesday of moving - new SGC and FAC landed week later the following Wednesday wih a simple form to confirm storage etc. so all done very swiftly. Maybe the easy things are shunted to the top of the Pile ??

I put my coterminous renewal in with GMP at the beginning of May. Certs will expire beginning of September.

Received email saying the process is taking approx 16 weeks and they will send out Section 7 permits if not sorted by expiry date.

Wakefield Firearms Licencing called me up today so things are finally moving along

So it looks like 13 weeks ish in West Yorks for your name to reach the top of the pile.

Ahh well, at least something is happening. :)

So before autumn maybe? :)

Not sure David....
I asked what turnaround time I'm looking at from now and the nice lady (not the usual one I've spoken to in the past) said it could be weeks as they are very busy
Nobody seems to want to commit in the shooting world I am finding out

I had two section 7's last year and it was my 5th renewal in Central Scotland. I think it was nearing an 7 month wait.

A month after getting it I put in a one for one variation, got another visit and another 3 month wait.

All the while those in Strathclyde were getting them through in 6 weeks??

Had a phone call today from Wakefield Firearms licencing to book a visit so its interview time tomorrow

Credit card is clear but the wife says priority is moving house not buying guns

Suggestions welcome in order to fill the cabinet AND keep wifey happy
