It hasn't been legal now for quite a few years to have duplicate Firearms licenses. Used to be, but not now. We used to get mail order purchases where the customer would send us one and have another sent to another dealer at the same time. Went like this for years. Then all of a sudden they seemed to catch on that this was happening and they changed the laws. Bummer.

Applied 7 months early, received in less than 14 days. Amazing.

Has it always said you must detach and carry this useless piece of paper from the bottom of the letter? I just read it and it says "you must be able to provide both your license and the license conditions" how the heck is this piece of paper going to last 5 1/2 years in my wallet?

Unless there are specific or unique conditions on the paper throw it away.

Renewed mine yesterday on-line. Easy Peasy!

I got a passport photo done at our local shoppers. Not really necessary however why give them a reason to reject the photo due to a technicality! :)

My fiancé and my mother both applied in December. Mom did it online and was approved and card arrived in a couple months. Fiancé applied a couple weeks after by mail and was only approved in September, still waiting on card in the mail

Applied on Sept. 18, took a cell phone photo (payed extra attention on requirements). Got my renewed license in the mail this morning. 15 days in total, so no complains here.

Don't know about the Firearms license, I'm talking about the Out of Doors card. You can buy duplicates on line from the govt.

Submitted my restricted/nonrestricted application on the line Oct 02nd.

Got my new card in the mail Yesterday. 17 days is not too shabby... :)

Very smooth and quick process IMO.

Sorry, you referred to both in your post so I thought I should let you know about the PAL.

Mine is up in March, opted to get it going sooner rather than later. Submitted about a month and half ago and got it within a week or two. I couldn't believe how quick it was. I assumed it was going to be hell based on all the rhetoric.
