Stupid question

**Mgulube** · 05-03-2009, 14:09

Hi there guys.

I am in the process of submitting the necessary documents, but need some advice:

I am applying for 2 firearms, the one a 30-06 and the other a .22. Now my question is:

When I submit my apllication for the competency certificate, can I submit my firearm application at the same time, or will they inform me when to submit the application?

Do I have to submit 2 forms for competency (one for 30-06 and one for .22) or will one form do??

Thanks all!!

One competency form.

You can submit everything at once. They won't look at your apps till you have your competency though.

if you're relicencing then submit them at once.

if they're new applications then I suggest you do them seperately. Yes, it'll take 1 or 2 trips more to the station but the delay in licencing appears to be in them marrying the competency certificate to the correct file.

I did em seperately. took 3 months each

and its not a stupid question

They tend to missfile the licence app while they process the competency, therefore you end up waiting a good few extra months.

That happened to me and a few others

Thanks guys. I am really looking forward to getting the licence, as somehow my dad bought a Parker-Hale 30.06 about 6 years ago, and now he wants to give it to me. We have both never seen the rifle, and it's a bit impossible at the moment to view it, as there is a matter of 580km to deal with...

Assuming someone had already submitted both together (not going to mention any names) would it be advisable to re-submit the firearm license once competancy has been approved or is it better to just wait it out and leave things as they are?

someone please answer the gentleman.

right now i'm baffled as to why the guy who posted this thread calls himself MGULUBE... isn't that another language for PIG?

why would you call yourself that?
