Damn Spartan! that is bloody awesome for the license turnaround. I'm still waiting for my cat H license (lodged a month ago now) and I also have my cat A&B :(

Update: Never mind just called them and really nicely inquired about the status of my cat H application and QWL said it's actually all ready to go and to expect an approval email shortly! :drinks:

yeah it seems like a little justice. I waited for 6 months for my A&B to be approved about 5 years ago.
I picked up my new P226 from the LGS today. Funny thing is he didn't look at my license at all. The number was written on the PTA.

Congrats on the buy! P226 is on my 'someday' list. Shoot it in good health.

Thanks. It was pretty expensive, although it came with 4 mags - $2500. The wife is going to get the P226 22LR when it comes time to get her license.

I thought I updated, but I guess I didn't.

My PTA was approved on the 9th day and the PTA was faxed on the Monday afternoon. I had contacted WLB and it turns out that their printer was having problems, which resulted in it being delayed for faxing. (I imagine this caused issues for permits being sent through the mail).

Finally have my new rifle :)

Going to take this to the Ipswich range next weekend for some fun.

You should have atleast been called/emailed by WLB to confirm identity by now as well as potentially called regarding confirming your personal details.
if not, I'd give them a call and just politely explain the situation to date and they should sort it out asap.

Finally got PTA approval email yesterday, applied on the 24th last month, called weapons licensing this morning to ask when it will be faxed through and it was meant to be going through late this afternoon, so hopefully it was and I can go pickup my new Marlin lever gun in the morning...
