Thanks, hopefully too. The system is messy and underfunded to begin with, it's as if we don't have a gun culture to start with ...

If the application is really lost that's the worst and most annoying outcome. I procrastinated last year and didn't get my license so it's on me. However I was looking forward to getting rifled too if I missed the handgun deadline.

The fact the Liberals used "within my power" to ban imports sucks, banning registration sucks but ultimately it's on me for not getting it done sooner. However not getting my license for the rifles is the worst problem from this whole endeavor

Indeed, let's hope at least for the future they will (for renewals and non restricted at that point only assuming they don't further restrict things)
