G19 SD Competency/Firearm Licence Application

**Billy The Kid** · 22-02-2012, 15:58

16 February 2012 - Submitted with not much fanfare. Was told that applications are sent every Wednesday to Provincial in Joburg (using advanced calculations, that would mean that my applications get sent along today (22 February 2012).

22 February 2012 - Called CFR and Ignatius told me (after not hanging on for more than a minute) that my applications were sent to Provincial on 17 February (last Friday), coinciding, strangely, with the date that my local DFO captured my application on the computer. Is it conceivable that the DFO captured my data and entered on the computer that the application was sent that same day? (I received an SMS last Friday saying that my application was receiving attention by my local DFO).

22 February Update: Just phoned my local DFO to find out when/if my application was sent to provincial. The kind man told me that today is my lucky day because it was sent to provincial and then straight on to Pretoria today, according to the computer. Can I rely on that?

We are in exactly the same bot, except you are ahead of me... My Comp application is till waiting to go to provincial. This is going to be a good test to see how we get along in this bumpy journey... lol I am doing it for my SD license too.

Called CFR on the 6257 number and a lady answered immediately and said that my application was sent from provincial but not recorded as received yet.

Mine is apparently at provincial after a week about , but I dont know how much can be relied on these updates.

Someone told me today that Competency applications get completed and approved at provincial level?? Has anyone else heard this?

Well the nice lady at CFR told me that the computer says that my application (and I'm assuming it means the competency) was sent from provincial to CFR. However she told me that it was regarding my 9mm. Does the competency mention the firearm being purchased or is everything lumped together by ID number?

And now the wait only *really* starts...

It may seem your app has landed in a "black hole" from this point on, but don't loose hope... if the guys on Star Trek can survive a Black hole, then so can you...

Good luck... I hope it comes through quickly!
