Hi everyone, I’m a Maryland resident applying for a DC carry permit. I understand that the firearm I register must be on the approved roster. I have a Glock 43X, which I assembled using a Glock 48 frame and a 43X slide. My 77R lists it as a 48 frame and N/A for MD roster since it's a frame. Will this cause any complications when registering the handgun for carry in DC?

Is shoulder holster legal in dc to carry gun with permit?

My recent purchases have all taken almost the exact same time to get approved. I asked the clerk in person when I submitted and he said it should take the same amount of time as usual. I heard someone else here say there's is also taking forever (if you're reading this, did you get it?) Should I do something or just wait like a good boy? GIMME lol

I submitted my CCW renewal application on Oct 15th; I received my approval and new license in my email today. That's 42 calendar days.

I want to get a couple of guns since there are good deals around this holiday time. Would it be wise wait till I get all of the firearms shipped to the FFL and submit the application once? Instead, of applying individually as I buy them.

I got denied my license about 2 years ago. I am a MD resident and I have my MD CCW. I had to get a couple things expunged to even be eligible to apply for my license. Now when I applied to DC their reason for denying my CCW Application was for a MD charge of dangerous concealed weapon in 2011. I have never been arrested in DC and that charge is expunged from my record. So I don’t understand why..I now see I can appeal it with OAH I was wondering if anyone had some knowledge about the appeals and reason to appeal. I feel like their reason isn’t valid I don’t have any felonies ever or Violent crimes

First time gun owner. I did the safety course but I'm a little confused on the next steps. So I find a firearm I want to purchase (I plan to do it online but maybe in-person is better), buy it and wait for it to get sent to a local FFL, and THEN I register it/do background/wait for approval? So the FFL will wait the few weeks it takes for all that to go through? Or do you submit that to the online company and only then do they release to a FFL? Thanks in advance.

Hi Everybody, just wondering how long NonResident DC CCW Renewals are taking before they're received, and how far in advance it's recommended to submit Renewal app before current DC CCW expiration date? TIA!

I have a couple of legal questions since I can't find anything online. Please let me know if these questions would be best asked in the r/MDGuns page.

1. I currently own a handgun. As a new resident who only plans to live in DC for a year or so, I decided to keep it stored in Maryland at my parent's place (my secondary residence that I visit often), locked in a secure safe that I own. I have their permission to do so. I do not intend to possess it in DC! With this arrangement, am I required to register it in DC, given that I am a DC resident and the gun is licensed in my name?

The answer to the above question partially impacts the below question.

2. I am in the market for a Mossberg 590 (20-inch barrel). It is a firearm that I could legally own in both Maryland and DC (Maryland doesn't require registration and DC if registered). Is it fine for me to purchase the firearm from a Maryland FFL, as a DC resident, and keep the shotgun in Maryland with my parents? The shotgun would be locked in a safe to which I exclusively have access (compliant with Maryland's storage laws). The 4473 would indicate that I am a DC resident, but I do not intend to possess the firearm in DC.

Thanks in advance for your help. I am new to this and don't want to get myself into trouble.

Dm me if you want a mpd appointment for CCW. You must have already purchased a firearm. I’m willing to open it up for someone who needs it. Must get back to me before the 21st!

I have two handguns that were given to me by my father a long time ago for which I do not have paperwork or any kind of purchase history information. I would like to register them in DC and get a CCP. My question is will I be able to do this, register them without the paper trail, purchase history, etc.? I also don't want to have them taken from me for whatever reason.

I understand the process to purchase a gun for concealed carry in D.C. is longer and more complicated (fewer appointments, training requirement, etc.) than registering one simply for home defense. Any reason I can't just use the simpler process to buy and register a gun for home defense and once I have it in my posession, then apply for the concealed carry permit? Obviously I couldn't carry it until the permit came throught but I would at least get the gun sooner. Does this work?

Dad wants to send me a gun that I’ve enjoyed shooting. The gun is registered to him in Tennessee. Can he send the gun (yes it’s on the approved gun list) from a Tennessee FFL to the DC authorized FFL and it be registered in my name here in DC?

I could not find this exact scenario in the MPD site.

I don’t plan to do CCW.

I applied for the license a week ago and gotta go through with waiting for 90 days… did it take less or more time for you? Thanks! If you were denied, what happened?

I was under the false impression that for every handgun you wish to purchase in the District and wish to carry you must register it as a concealed carry gun.

Not true. If I’m the only one confused by this then that’s on me.

I think I was confused by that by the sheer number of people who were complaining about the number of CCW appointments available. It just didn’t seem me that those people were all new CCW registers, but people trying to register a firearm under CCW.

Turns out the CCW is a blanket policy for anything you want to carry that is legal in the District.

Once youve obtained your CCW, you can use the normal gun registration appointment of which there are dozens per day.

My question is now that I have a CCW how do I know what is legal to carry? If it’s concealed can I carry it? Anything that’s legal? Or just handguns?

So I finally had my appointment yesterday and kinda left it feeling a little bit unsure about the process. Not a DC resident. Most of the employees were very nice to me but they did make several mistakes with my info that I had to correct. The big thing is when I got done with my prints and signed they were just like “you are all set”. I asked if there was anything else I needed to do and they just told me to wait for the emails. As I got on the metro I realized, other than the receipt for payment at the kiosk, I didn’t get any sort of tracking or case number from them. Do I just chill and wait for them to issue my permit or was I supposed to get a confirmation email afterwards? I registered 4 handguns along with my permit so I am assuming that is gonna make my application take longer. They said wait 45-90 days but I assume that’s just what they always say and that it usually takes longer. Anyone have any insight?

Basically the question above, for models that are MD legal but not DC legal, would one be able to keep them in storage in MD and use the range there, even if the address on my HQL would not be the storage location? I am viewing this as the only alternative to selling my babies. Can't avoid the move.

Good evening, I am seeking information as to the process of a DC resident applying for a conceal permit in both MD and Maryland. I also see a lot of listings naming Utah. Can I get some answers please?.

I've been waiting for a month for recent registration application. After calling them and being told they have a lot of applications to process, I'm wondering if they list the total number of applications they receive. Do they post how many applications they receive publicly somewhere?

I suspect that they may not be adequately staffed given the resistance from DC government towards 2A rights. I think people would be more patient with them(MPD employees) if they are more forthcoming with this information.

P.S.- I think the election might have something to do with the surge in applications this month. Most DC residents remember the craziness that happened in the last election. Personally, I highly doubt anything like that would ever happen again.
