Random question, is there extra checks when they need to look at semi auto rifle and shotgun applications? Have a semi auto 12 gauge thats been sitting in consideration for 2 weeks now with zero movement. First out of 5 licences and a renewal to sit in consideration for more than 2 days.

My daughter’s application was approved 2 days ago. It was over a month between in preparation, consideration, back to preparation before the approval. The 2nd time it went into consideration she got the sms a day later.

My last app spent a month in “for consideration”, the date however changed every Friday in that month. Go figure
