    I had a couple weird questions for a friends interview too like "Is he the type of person to solve a problem with violence?"

    I must fart rainbows, my references weren't even called.

    I've been asked that one a couple times. I've been a reference for at least a dozen people. "Have you got a few minutes to answer some questions, or would you like to call back at a more convenient time ?" Uhhhhh...no....I actually want this person to get their license sometime within the next dozen years, so we'll get this out of the way right now so there are no excuses. LOL.

    Same old questions that have already been posted....basically, they're asking you in a long, drawn out way, if the person is sane, stable, and not a risk.

    How about " Did Mr. X ever told you or have you heard him say that he wanted to end his life"
    I'll do what I have to do and deal with the consequences of my actions later

    Does it ever seem to anyone else that this whole process is completely made up on the fly? I had zero references checked for RPAL, including my wife. But the way every person seems to have a different story makes it feel like they're drawing ideas out of a hat. Or maybe there's a magic 8 ball running the show at Mirimichi....

    I think it's more of a lottery idea...maybe based on speeding tickets or something? I had no reference checks either, which just shows the system knows who is a good looking, stable, kitten feeding person.

    yeah don't wait or you will be a year older..... call them and have your references call them
    any excuse,and I mean any , will be used to delay it, don't give them one, once the references are done you've pretty much got it
    when the web site says issued call again and get your number while its in the mail and then its all over but the shopping!

    If you are waiting for a firearms license (or someone you know is waiting for one), and you think that enough time has passed, and you're wondering what the matter is, don't hesitate to call to ask about it.
    There might be an issue - like a reference they need to speak with - that will not be resolved until after you call (and learn about it).

    If you think you've waited long enough, just call them.
