Where can you see ya status?

I saw my DC status when filling out a 77r the other day. It's a checkmark in the electronic form.

Glad I've had my DC Status since 2007. I even still have the letter and laminated it when I got it. When I went to pick up 8 lowers at a dealer he said, "Please tell me you are a DC." I sat my laminated letter on the counter and said, "There you go."

You don't really need the paper copy of the letter anymore. The electronic application system automatically populates your status.

You never NEEDED the letter. There was a box to check on the paper form 77.

Some SHOPS would ask, but it was not an MSP requirement.

In fact, you can find posts here were people lost their letter and requested a new one, and we told that they did not give replacement letters, and the a physical copy of the letter was not required.

You can't.

THEY know.

What did you all put as the rationale for the DC in the application?

I had to provide mine after they went to the online 77r. I was told they lost a lot of peoples info and was advised by MSP to keep it in a safe place because they can request it at any time.

Who made you provide it?

MSP? Or the dealer?

I never heard of anything about them losing info.

I literally wrote "I like guns".

So if i purchased the handgun online, and it was delivered to my FFL, what day does the 30 day clock start? The day the paperwork is done or the day I pick up?

DdotC · Jul 31, 2020

Follow up question, should I have waited to mail in my DC until after I brought home my first gun?

Not really.

So, let’s say I’m having something shipped from gunbroker to my FFL and I’m still on a 30-day hold until I can pick up my next handgun, my FFL will hold until the 30 days is up or will I have to pay them to hold it?

That's a question for your FFL. It's good practice to contact them bfore you have a gun shipped in for you anyhow. I'd imagine they wouldn't charge you a storage fee but who knows?

Thank you for the designated collector info. I suppose I need to apply.

So if I bought rifle online and having it shipped to my FFL and went in store to purchase my handgun and happen to find another must have hand gun. Does the 60 day wait only apply for the two handguns? Or is there a limit on rifles etc

Can I also apply to be a D.C while I am waiting for the 77r to be approved? Or do I need to actually have the firearms in my possession?

30 day for one/60 day for two wait only applies to handguns.

You can, by the time they get to it, your 7 day wait would be over and you should qualify for DC. If you get denied simply call them after your 7 day wait is over and the 77R approved.

Apply for collector certification, buy as many as you want.
