Designated Collector Question

[regularfunk]

Did a search but couldn't find my answer.

Do I need to get the notary done in MD? I'm a MD resident that is currently in Afghanistan. We have a legal office out here that can do the notary for me; however, the wording on the form makes me think that I need to have this done in MD.

Not a huge deal if I can't do it but I hoped I could do this while I'm out here so my wait would be killed along with my deployment time.

The form only needs to be notarized. Good luck to you

Inigoes, thank you for the quick reply. I'll get this started as soon as possible.

i agree. any one will do as long as you are a md resident.

Residency not required COMAR 29.03.01.04, if the MSP follows rules.

 

[yellowsled]

that makes no sense cause you cant buy a regulated firearm in md unless you are a resident. wtffffffffffff

Out of state people (neighboring states) can purchase a regulated rifle or shotgun.

Follow up question:

How many people actually get contacted at the numbers you listed on the application? Since I deployed I put my cell number on "military hold" so I'd imagine no one at the MSP could get through to it (I don't use a home phone) and I definately don't want to use the ex.

Hopefully they would then try to call my work number where someone would let them know I'm deployed.

Should I put another letter in the envelope explaining my situation and that email would be the best way to contact me?

Either way, I'll be going to the legal office when they open today to get the signatures and try my luck.

regularfunk, they never contacted me. All they did was send a letter confirming my status.

Thanks mikec!

i've never heard of anyone getting a call, but it's good to cover the bases just in case.

thank you for your service.

Thanks holepunch!

Another question, just want to get this right but I suspect I'm looking way too far into this.

The notary part of the form has a line that says:

In and for the County of ____________, personally appeared and made oath in due form of Law that the answers provided in this application are full, complete, correct, and true to the best of his/her knowledge, information and belief.

The officer at legal put Kabul, Afghanistan in the blank since that is where we are, would there be any issues with this?

Additionally, after the space where the notary signs there is a part that says:

My Commission Expires: ___________

This was left blank as apparently that doesn't apply. Don't know how that works with military notaries.

Either way I typed up an additional letter to go with the form just in case. Hopefully I'll come back to some mail with good news! I really appreciate the help from everyone here.

Little off topic but what I really like about MD Shooters is that people here are very knowledgeable and don't mind helping others out. It helps those of us less knowledgable out a ton. Thanks again!

Is there a waiting period for us? Not that I'd go to Maryland to purchase a firearm

You're prefectly legal.

Military Notaries are a little different, but legal. Sometimes civilians are taken off guard.

Since Officers are commissioned for life, the blank line can be ignored.

Jim

PM blueheeler, he just went through the process IIRC.

Jim

There's no waiting period on shotgun or rifle in Maryland as long as it is not regulated. It's instant. For a pistol or regulated it is just mailing it across to the other FFL. There are no waits for out of state. The local gun shop here in Cumberland sells to WV residents all the time. They buy it. The shop gets in the truck drives the regulated firearm across into WV which takes 5 minutes and the buyer fills out the 4473 and walks out of the WV FFL with it same day.

I think I'll just keep my firearms purchases on this side of the Potomac. There's a shop here that has a Mini-14 with gov't barrel and factory folding stock that the guys is selling for $600. It's that or the PTR-91 with retractable stock for $900.

[regularfunk]

Thanks again Inigoes, sending my paperwork out when the post office opens up!

Once the dust settles, let us know how everything works out.
