Section 21 Experiment

**cerop** · 24-06-2011, 10:25

Rights, so my one Section 21 runs dry at the end of August, and although I am very hopeful that my licence will be approved before then, there is obviously no certainty. Has anyhone re-applied or extended their Section 21 before? What's the process? Do I need to go through the whole process again, or is there someone's arm I can twist, or at least explain to them that for some f@!@##$ up reason they only approved my S21 for 4 months instead of the requested 12 months?

I would think its a new application Cerop. As with any other licence that nears its "expirey date" the normal process would have to be followed.

Dumb that it was only approved for 4 months?? was it a SD or sport application?

Was SD, and like I said, I asked for 12 months. Pillocks!

Maybe I must just bleed it out, and worst comes to worst, just book the gun in again if the application drags on. I just don;t have the energy. Besides, I now have my Section 15, just need to go pick up the card from the DFO, so I'll still be armed.

FFS...getting a migraine just thinking of all the hassle...

If it was like a licence renewal then proof of submitting the application allows you to remain in possession of the firearm till it has been finalised.

I wonder what your DFO would say about that?

Interesting.... Maybe I'll ask my DFO when I go collect my card. If that's the case I might give it a shot, but FFS... they frustrate me!
