They said they USED to accept MD, but realized that it was a 25 shot course. The damn MSP cert says that you qualified by hitting "X out of 25."
It sucks, but I will have to take the course.

Swinokur, I read that as requiring a course where you shot a minimum of 50 rounds. In my course, we shot hundreds of rounds, but the testing was only for 25 shots. It appears that if we took 50 shots for the testing portion, DC would accept it. Oh, well.
I think the kicker is “qualification course” consisting of 50 rounds. That seems to mean the actual test

In any event, I signed up for a course in early January. Seems surprisingly cheap, at $200.
Just for precision, handguns have to be on one of the three rosters.
So handgun conceptually is presumed not allowed unless specifically put on a roster.
But long guns are kind of the opposite: presumed allowed except specific models and attributes.
That’s why I used commas and the word OR
I was referring to long guns. Long guns don't need to be on any roster. As far as I can tell you can build your own mini 14 ranch or 10/22 no thumbstock or grip below the action from an 80% and register it in DC if you serialize it as.
Long gun probably as long as it does not have certain attributes (ie ar-15 from 80%, no; mini 14 probably ok), handgun no. As far as possession of 80% or less of handgun or prohibited long gun legally you maybe ok, BUT they might well put you through the ringer on constructive possession. Ie if you had something like an Ares SCR which is AR-15 upper, AR barrel, at mags and legal in DC, having an 80% or less AR lower possessed within DC at the same time something I would not do. In terms of bringing an 80%t above 80%, technically, if you submitted and passed your own personal build to one of the roster authorities, and also had it serialized, and registered it that might be within the regs
You specifically said handguns. Which is why I used the word OR and not AND.
Just saying
And you specifically said "firearms." That is why I clarified your statement was correct on handguns but not for long guns.
Oh now I see what you're saying. I used the word firearms, my bad.
sheepish look on face.

THIRD Application?
Are these renewals, or were you denied twice before?
They do tell you that it will take about 90 days, right? So, the crickets don't mean much.

Way to stick in there!
Persistent little bugger! Maybe third time is the charm! Good luck.
