Re: License renewal experience
Some feedback:
DFO called me today to notify me that he has managed to capture all the renewal apps today. He had to call someone at CFR to get the "System" sorted out in order to be able to do it.
For what it may be worth, today is 60 days before expiry date.

Re: License renewal experience
It will only come into play when (if) you are lodging an appeal, and if you are taking them to court for an irrational refusal. It may even be the final straw that gets you a cost order. Make sure your app is on part to go all the way right from the start. That is what really helps you on the long run. The prior notice form is only a small part of that.

Re: License renewal experience
Reviving this thread.
Recently I handed in another license renewal application. DFO was happy with everything. Then a surprise:
Since my last bunch of renewals, he has received a directive that he has to attach an inspection report of ALL my fire arms. (Not just the one being renewed!) A form was provided. So this is why people have been reporting that their DFO wants to inspect their FA on renewal.
I asked whether he wanted me to bring them all to his office. He said something like "Are you mad? It is MY job to go to your house and do the inspection there." I was already picturing myself loading the bakkie full of guns, and I don't have enough cases and bags for all of them...
As anticipated, they are gradually making compliance more and more onerous, under the guise of "fighting crime".
