Shooters Union are trying to track this issue and the average PTA time was around 31 days when they last reported on it, being an average that means half of PTA applications now take over 31 days.
However, not only is it likely already longer but some 'massaging' of figures always seems to happen with government so they will probably be clearing some quickly to improve the 'average' and the remainder could be waiting 2 to 3 months.
There was a recent large uptake of temporary staff at WLB so hopefully they will be trained up soon and get the backlog down.

I applied for my Cat A & B Firearms License only a couple of weeks ago. I know they are meant to take 20-25 weeks (so I'm still a long while off) but when I looked through some posts from earlier this year I saw folks saying their applications had taken upward of 30 weeks.
Just for some piece of mind, I was wondering, how long is it taking for folks to get their licences at the moment and if I should buckle in for a much longer wait?

I was told last week that WL are taking around 11 months for license approvals at the moment, is this actually an improvement on what’s been happening over the last couple of years?
