Not sure yet if I should submit the apeal and how long it will take or re-apply, don’t really want to have it on record that i was refused and have to deal with it on every application going forward.

Havent read all the msges here yet but im sure most would agree it’s a kak explanation for a refusal after all the necessary documents was submitted like i have done with all the rest of my firearms on sections 13,15&16. I’ll probably put in an appeal but if it takes too long I’ll reapply.
