    My request to obtain designated collector status was approved in October. The only thing I got was the letter approving the request. No card, no number, no nothing. Is that it? If so, do I just present that letter to the dealer if I want to buy more than one handgun within 30 days?

    Thanks

    You don't need to take the letter to the dealer. When the dealer asks you if you are a designated collector, just tell them yes. The MSP will verify that you are a designated collector when processing your paperwork.

    The letter saying your request for designated collector status has been approved is all you will get back.

    I have never had a dealer ask to see a copy of the letter.

    During the backlog last year , some of the Dealers wanted to see a DC letter as one of their criteria for On Time Release. Other than that , just check the apropreate box on the the 77R .

    Post # 2 said it right no need to bring letter just tell them better yet, just check the DC box on the 77R and you're good to go.

    I keep a copy in my car just to help show I'm a "bona fide" collector if LE stops me during transport, since that's a legal allowance to the transport statute (4-203).

    Some guys put a copy in their Drop Box account so it can be accessed from their phones.

    Not required but may avoid a hassle. Who knows?

    How long did it take you to get your DC letter? Just wondering if it's any faster now.

    Having the letter doesn't matter. You can call the MSP; if you're approved you're good to go even while awaiting the actual letter.

    I recommend you scan the letter and keep it so that when the state police write and say they lost your letter, you can send/email them a copy. That happened to me.
