New license can take anywhere up to about three months even longer in some situations don't waste ya time chasing them until the three months has passed as ya will just get the "its being processed in order of receipt" line. If nothing else the whole process forces ya to learn patience!!!!!!

Can't complain about that

Haven’t got the card in the mail yet ... but jeez it’s only been a week!! You only need the numbered approval to be legal anyways ... I say top marks genlemen!!

PTA for a Weatherby 243 submitted 20 Feb, so hopefully will get to test it for Easter.

Didn't you put some PTAs in at the same time as your licence application? If you did they should be approved and arrive about the same time. if not you'll have another 28 day waiting period for your first PTAs.bah wrote:A broader question for the group - when can I expect the police to inspect my safe?

Probably never, it's a random thing, i don't personally know anyone who's ever had one. A couple of guys on the forum have had them though so they do happen..

No1_49er, sounds like once you actually have the license, the PTA wait times are an absolute breeze.

Stev076vl wrote:Hi. Has any experienced 30-day waiting times for every pta. I have 2 rifles, cat a and b and i just applied for another cat a firearm and the wait is still 30days as dated on the confirmation e-mailed to me. So far none of the ptas have arrived before that date which is painful. Previous ptas were faxed to dealer exactly 30 days from when i applied. Is the date on the approval email a guide and am i likely to see it sooner? Have a feeling its going to be another 30day wait.

My application was about 2 weeks after yours, so see how I go for an Easter shoot. I am booked on a shooting trip for the May long weekend, so looks like I will be able to be more then the camp cook.

Bilko, very exciting to think that your application will be processed just as quickly as mine! Still waiting on the plastic in the post (6 days and counting). The highlight of my day is opening my post box each afternoon.
I can also confirm both of my PTAs were approved and faxed to dealer as soon as I made a follow up phone call. Now that is what I call service!
Keep us updated on how you go. Curious to see how other applications are processing at this time of the year.
Cheers

I hope the plastic doesn’t get ‘lost in the mail’ like many seem to.
