I don't think so

swinokur · Mar 28, 2016

where did you get this info? the MPDC web page is unchanged.

StantonCree · Mar 28, 2016

He's correct.........they sent an email to the entire department with the same information

swinokur · Mar 28, 2016

I wasn't challenging the authenticity, just curious where it came from.

Obviously DC smartly decided not to appeal for en banc

As a guy that has a CMP M1 Carbine on the way, I'm thrilled that I won't have to drag that puppy downtown to get it registered!

Didn't you get the telegraph on this upgrade?

swinokur · Mar 28, 2016

I talked to a young lady from the firearms registration section this morning and she confirmed the law/policy changes. She's mailing to me new updated registration cards, for my guns, that will not have expiration dates. I'll shred my dated cards upon receiving the new ones.

It is called "infringement". Nothing further.

Soon enough you will have to obtain a permit to speak ten days in advance. :rolleyes:

I've never waited more than 15 minutes for my registration cards and don't know of anyone who didn't receive theirs "on the spot" like I have. I believe the rules give them 10 days in case there's an issue with the background check.

Ok. That must be the reason. But if the place I buy it from in MD runs a NICS check when I go pick up a shotgun that gets delivered why should I have to wait an 10 days before I can get it?
