Is she the applicant or the reference?

If the applicant, then it is just a rehash of the questions she's already answered on the app with a couple added in.

If she's the reference, then the questions will be crap like:

Are you free to talk about the applicant?
Were you forced to sign up as a reference?
Has the applicant ever shown a facination with workplace shootings?
If you suspected the applicant was about to committ a crime, what would you do?
Is the applicant a violent person?

And other such nonsense assuming the applicant is a criminal in waiting.

Either way, should take about 5 minutes.
 
From my understanding, interviews are mandated for all RPAL applicants & "special" situations such as spousal or answering "yes" to one of the "no" questions. Standard issue PAL no record, no interviews.
 
As per my original Post, my daughter took the PAL course then the next week took the RPAL course then sent everything in and about a month later a RPAL was in the mail.

Don't recall any phone interview for her (single)
 
I just had mine Friday. they recapped the questions on the application and asked why I wanted a RPAL I said for rage and target. and asked how long I had known my references.
They called my one reference and basically asked If I forced him into singing the paper and about my temper and my recent history, layed off, divorced, depression and over drinking

I would think that this would raise a few eyebrows....

Kind of an ironic place for a typo...
 
M y daughter was the applicant. Like what was mentioned earlier they basically asked her the questions on the Rpal application. Everything went well. Now she's just waiting for one of her refrences to get back in country. Mine was a little more than I expected. Ive owned restricted since 1978 but had posession only not aquisition. I wanted to buy a new pistol so I upgraded the same time as her.I didnt expect to have to start from the very beginning. I thought that having owned restricted for over 30 yr would shorten the process a little.

BTW She can ask the CFC to call her reference out-of-country.
They called my brother who was somewhere in Africa.
I gave them the number (the file showed that he would be out-of-country) and less than ten minutes later my application was approved and the card's in the mail.
