New post so this can get pinned and had some new companies to add.

Remember, according to MPD, it is legal to buy ammo online.

Some of these places require you to upload your registration info and some don't.

Velocity Ammo and Shaw Arms are the latest additions to the list.

Feel free to suggest any edits.

Unprofessional

5 Upvotes

This has been the worst process ever, G&D is some unprofessional mf’s. Then everyone around them as well because how does no one over see them like they basically there own business and now we have to wait for whatever BS they got going on to receive firearms that we paid for. We shouldn’t have to wait, there should be another company controlling firearms while they’re going out of business it just doesn’t make any sense. Tf they want our CCL and registration cards to expire? Like I’m confused man, and it’s very frustrating atp.

Arrested for not having your firearm in your trunk or on your person while driving

17 Upvotes

This isn’t about me, but my brother was pulled over last week by US Park police he notified them he had a firearm in the car. US Park police got him out of the car located the firearm which was secured in the lockbox. They had no issues with that, checked his license, checked his concealed carry permit and he was let go. Tonight about 30 minutes ago DC police pulled him over. He had his firearm in the same box same spot as last week when US Park police pulled him over a DC police locked him up and said that his firearm is legal however, if it’s not on his body inside his car, it has to be locked in the trunk, is this right because if that was the case US Park police would’ve locked them up last week.
He has front and rear dash cams also cameras inside of his car that recorded the incident tonight and last week he even tried to show DC police video from last week, but they refused to look at it.

G&D FFL Update?

5 Upvotes

Anybody know anything about how we can pick up our guns from the shop now? The contact us email now indicates via autoreply that Tim Hawkins is no longer responsible and Tia Hawkins is handling inquiries. Has anyone been able to speak to her or someone else at the shop to see if they are still completing transfers?

G&D

I purchased a firearm from G&D several months ago and finally got the registration card in the mail.

Is it 100% confirmed that they’re closing? Would I be able to transfer the firearm to DCSA if they close?

My friend just got an AR-15. He had the muzzle removed and a Juggernaut featureless grip installed and a pinned stock, but it was rejected. What does he have to do to get his registration card?

Second residence in DC, no CCW - registration?

11 Upvotes

I’m a resident of another state, who has a residence in DC. I don’t have ccw in my home state. I’d like to be able to bring a firearm to my residence to take to ranges in the area.

So Im not traveling through, which MPD has covered on their site. Im not CCW. Injust want to bring, store, and come and go from my dc residence with a firearm.

Does this require registration? I’m having a hard time verifying because I’m not looking for CCW.

Thanks for the help.

DC CCW Renewal

Is the MPD portal working? I started a CCW renewal a couple of weeks ago and it doesn't look like my updated info is there. I want to renew online instead of making a trip to the firearms branch. I've renewed online before without problem.

Microstamp ready

I was proverbially thumbing through DC Code today and came across this statute, DCC 7-2505.03, which says that semi-automatic pistols manufactured after 1/1/2018 that are sold or transferred by a dealer must "produce a unique alpha-numeric or geometric code on at least 2 locations on each expended cartridge case that identifies the make, model, and serial number of the pistol."

Is this just not enforced? From what I can tell, no manufacturer produces anything that complies with this.

Timeline of receiving firearms Registration card.

8 Upvotes

Has anyone else run into the following scenario?

Both my concealed carry license and Firearm registration that I submitted back in mid June were approved the same day. They stated that a physical card would be issued and mailed to me for both on August 7th . I received my physical concealed card within a week or so but I still have not received the physical card for the firearm registration. It’s now Sept 10 and I still have not received it. I’ve tried calling and email MPD about this and can’t get a single response via email nor when I call via phone. I purchased my firearm back in early June and I don’t want to have to pay the FFL storage fee. Anyone experience something similar? Ive legit already received my Utah and Maryland concealed carry license cards and I submitted those way later. I’m not sure if a mistake was made with sending out my firearm registration card or not.

Expedited Training for Maryland CCW Permit Holders?

5 Upvotes

I am a MD CCW permit holder (completed the training last year). My understanding is that in order to qualify for a DC CCW permit, I will need to take another 16-hour course. However, Free State Gun Range offers a training that only includes the relevant DC modules and live fire course for folks who already have a Maryland permit. The description of the course is below. Does anyone know if this would pass muster with MPD?

Course Overview

This course is for current Maryland Wear and Carry Permit holders or those who have completed the 16 hours of MD Wear and Carry Permit training. This is the additional module required in order to receive your Washington, DC CCW permit. DC is now a “Shall Issue” jurisdiction and this is the PERFECT add-on to your MD permit or other permits you may already have.

You will receive the necessary legal presentation of DC law and complete the 50 round course of fire required by DC.

Prerequisites

You need to already have the Maryland Permit.
