Any male over 33 was probably in the defence force and was trained in the use of firearms, if the Gubmunt are to be believed so were the 'Veterans'

So training should be only for people under 33 or those not previously in the defence/veteran forces.

I don't see a problem with the whole re-registration thing because they are probably so out of date with the old licence system they cannot work out who owns what and who should not own a firearm.

The training given and questionnaire was so half arsed, open book closed book etc. and only touched on the actual use and is more an exercise to teach an ignoramus what responsible ownership is.

My main gripe is why it took so long for my competency and licence cards to come through the system (Almost a year)
My son who has applied as a new prospective owner has been waiting for 14 months for his competency card before he can even purchase a hunting rifle, how much longer will the licence take?
