Al - when did you apply for a licence? Huge backlog at the moment (well, there is with Thames Valley at least). I've had a licence for donkeys years, but my laster renewal took more than a year to process! They had to issue a temporary licence (as original expired during the period), then that almost expired too.
Hope you get it sooner rather than later or you could face a frustrating wait for your gun.
Put my application in to Thames Valley Police back in February, phoned my local Firearms Officer last week to double check something about where I was putting my cabinet and whilst I was on the phone she checked my application progress for me and informed me she doesn't expect to be visiting to check my cabinet until September at the earliest!Hope you get it sooner rather than later or you could face a frustrating wait for your gun.
They've still managed to cash the fee cheque though!

Local gun shop warned me to expect it sometime next year. 
Requested my licence 16 days ago, had my FEO inspection this morning and all went according to plan, as a parting shot (excuse the pun) he told me to expect my licence to arrive within the next 4 weeks! 
So fingers crossed, the wait begins.......
Watch this space.
