Going to send in for Designated collector.

Doitsouthstyle · Jun 17, 2016

I am curious if anyone in the recent past has applied to be a designated collector and what there wait time was for there approval letter. Going to go to notary in the morning and put it in the mail right after. Tried searching but only result on forum and Google really seemed to lead back to 2012. Am I missing something in the laws about it or has the subject just kind of fell under the couch. Thank you any and everyone in advance.

I hasn't been recently. But it only took a couple or 3 weeks. Pretty darn quick for MD and something firearm related.

I seem to remember a rather quick turnaround too. Think about 3 weeks, much faster than my how long my C&R application took.

Thank you guys very much

No time at all. Maybe 2-3 weeks. Very painless process.

Ditto.

I mailed my request on 4/15 and received the letter on 4/29.

same took 2 weeks for me

DaemonAssassin · Jun 17, 2016

If you don't have it within 2 weeks, check with MSP LD 2 weeks after that.

Two...weeks...isn't that from a movie

. That's about how long it took for the wife and me last year...except they spelled our last name wrong. After a very courteous email correspondence, we had our corrected letters a couple days later. I know my last name is kinda weird, but...shouldn't they have all my info based on my ssn?

Also, I don't know where you want to go for a notary. My bank (APGFCU) did it for free.

Three weeks did mine in april.

BigToe · Jun 20, 2016

I did mine back in mid 2013 back when the MD background check system was backed up over 8 months, and still received mine in about 3 weeks.

Better get moving on this. It's looking more and more like the Hildebeast is going to be our new a**hole-in-chief and if she has her way, we may be fighting to keep what we already have, much less trying to obtain anything new.

NateIU10 · Jun 20, 2016

We notarize a bunch, most were coming back in around 2 weeks, seems to have crept closer to 3 for most now.

Mine was 2 weeks. This was a few months ago. My wallet knows it.

While we're on the subject. How does one go about getting replacement copy? I was previously issued and it got lost in the shuffle of a divorce and moving my residence a few years ago.

Not sure about that. I took a photo of mine when I got it, but I've never been asked to present it when purchasing multiple handguns. I just tell them I have collector status and check the appropriate boxes on the forms.

I mailed mine back in early April, as did a friend of mine, neither of us has seen a response yet.

I had my original damaged in a mini-flood in my basement. I called, verbally requested a replacement and had the copy in just over a week.

This does not sound right. I think a phone call may be in order. All the ones I have helped process lately have been 2 weeks or so.
