I phoned our Firearm Control Center today and received the wonderful news that my lic has been approved!!!
Now it is the last hurdle of recieving the printed card, which can also take a few weeks. But at least the end is in sight and all the uncertainties are out of the way.
Thank you to everyone who has passed on their support during this most frustrating times!!
Man, I am like a kid who has just graduated from school!!
All smiles and can at long last relax a bit.

Outstanding.  Worse than waiting on Christmas... at least you KNOW Christmas will finally get there.  Very glad for you, 8shots.

Congradulations 8! I know how you feel; like getting your approval letter from the ATF on a class 3 transfer (just not as long or complicated).
Dogger swing by and pick me up for the party at 8's, I'll help you leave Ed behind.

Hey 8, is it also difficult to purchase ammo and reloading components? By the way congrads on your approval.

I'm very glad to hear that everything is working out for you, Wouter, but sorry you had to go through so much hassle and wait to get to this point!

fortunately ammo and reloading components are easy to get. No restrictions to purchase other then having a firearm lic. You also may not have more then 200 rounds per rifle in your possesion. Also only 1 can of reloading powder of approx 1lb.
But it is not a big deal as yet and is not strictly enforced (yet). I guess if you give the police a reason to check (as in being involved in an accident or shooting), they would then check.
The actual reloading equipment, dies, presses etc is uncontrolled.
 
Thanks for all your well wishes. I definately want to upgrade to 1 shot pretty soon!

How bad is it to bring in a firearm to hunt with for one of us? Or is that allowed?
Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.

Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow
Now the rules have changed again.
