Getting appointment to drop off carry application

[INMY01TA]

I’ve called and left messages. Nothing. What’s the deal? If I go down there in person will they make an appointment for me or turn me away and tell me to call?

You have to have an appointment to enter the building.

 

[INMY01TA]

Ok but is there any tips on getting an appointment?? No one answers the phone.

 

[RFBfromDE]

That's how they get you!

MPD Appointment Scheduler | mpdc

Members of the public are required to visit the Metropolitan Police Department in person to complete certain services provided by the Firearms Registration and Record Division, including the following:

mpdc.dc.gov

Use the link and go to the Appointments button towarss the bottom of the page. That is how you set up those appointments.

Remember youll need to register at least one handgun when turning in yoir carry application, so have the pd219 form filled out or the info on hand like serial number of your gun, barrel length, caliber etc.

Also parking is terrible, so arrive early to find a spot.

And if you do succeed , they don't give you a card to carry.
My recent renewal had someone else photo in it..

Also my glock 20 registration says 10ga instead of 10mm for the caliber. And for my five seven it says 5.5mm instead of 5.7mm×28. When I inquired about it in person, they said its not a problem...

My first permit had "Bethesda MD" for my address. Have never lived in Bethesda. They're really on top of things.
I called and told someone, officer told me to come back and get a new card. I told him, no.. I don't mind living in Bethesda. They mailed me a new card..

DC permit, not MD

 

[XCheckR]

DC permit, not MD

Thank you.

Upon further inspection I see I was in the Washington DC area. Ugh...

 

[INMY01TA]

I figured it out. Appointment set thanks everybody.

thought if you carry the wrong round you can be punished.

I was wondering if that would allow his G20 on a dredge boat or barge.

That was done away with a few years ago. As long as you have a registered firearm you can have any ammo except for what they consider restricted -- 50 BMG, depleted uranium, etc.

 

[Kanly]

Assuming you are a MD resident, make sure you also fill out and bring with you the Used Firearm Addendum form

Ya we went over all the paperwork in the training class.

thank you. Pretty stupid. Depleted uranium? Damn. Better take my crate out of my minivan.

A fellow DC resident was talking with one of the Sr. Sgt's in the firearms office a while ago about ammo and the Sgt. said DC would consider the solid copper self defense rounds out there now as restricted because copper is mentioned in the list of "restricted" bullets. There was also mention of them considering just any lead free round as restricted.

I emailed multiple times asking if they could clarify their position on monolithic and lead free ammo and they just refuse to give an answer.
