Fingerprint cards

Well Im a bit ticked. Have my VA app all filled out but finding time during business hours to wait to get printed has been a bear. I had to take off to renew my Ft meade sticker and saw on the web site they do printing. Fine they do but not for non-dod purposes. Today hit MD state police in Odenton who Ft meade recommended - Great saturday hours. But I was handed a 2 page memo stating they no longer do fingerprinting for gun permits! Local seem to only do 4 hour periods 2 days a week - during normal business hours.

So should I bringthe card to Dulles show tomorrow or the york show next weekend? Any idea if anyone will be doing printing there?

you can go to your county police and have them do it, I did mine in Baltimore at the towson safety building on a Saturday in and out in 10mins. The officer who took my prints even wished me luck in getting the permit.

I just double checked where I went - I walked into the Western district of AA county in Odenton. The guy was right inside the door and turned me away

State police only do electronic prints

MD State police stopped doing prints for firearms back in January. You can get them done up at CJIS in Pikesville. Waiting time can be long. Also, if you are down in Fairfax, the Fairfax County Police Annex will do them. It is near the main court house. They are VERY fast. That is where I got my prints done for VA CCW. 12 minutes in and out the door!

Did you tell them it was for OUT OF STATE permit? True that the MSP will not fingerprint for MD CCW b/c that is now electronic LiveScan. But I've found the MSP-Rockville barracks will print you for whatever purpose. When I told them it was for ccw, they said no can do, but when I explained it was for out of state, they were ok.
It's just ink on someone else's card. I don't think they really care what for. They probably thought they were helping you out by sending you away if they thought you were there for MD ccw. Believe it or not, ppl really do apply for MD ccw.

Is that a new thing? I was printed a couple years ago and they did the old fashioned ink ones at Belair.

That is new!!! I wonder what they are going to do with my permit renewal as I just sent it in with ink cards. It didn't say any of that stuff on the application, why am I not surprised.

I have not had a reason to go back since I was last printed in February for NFA reasons. College Park turned me away, so I just went to CJIS. No problems there. The volunteers that print you at the Rockville barracks are very nice. They did 12 cards for me in Dec & early Jan. Probably not a bad idea just to explain to them if it is for an out of state permit.

I did explain it was for out of state but he refused. And this was county not state. Oh well.

That was enough for a 2 month period. I did my part to help stimulate the economy and pay voluntary taxes.

You know that if you submit multiple NFA Form 4s you only need two blue cards regardless of the number of forms, right

Even from 4 different dealers? Some of those cards were the purple ones for MSP. MSP made me submit a different purple card for each dealer. Also, not all of my forms were submitted to BATFE at the same time, and several items were on Form 1s.

Can I have any LE fingerprint me? I have a federal officer who was a coworker at my last place of employment who is willing to do it. This would save a ton of hassle.

In case it hasn't been mentioned yet, This is a good place to get your fingerprints done. They are in Ellicott City.

I spoke with a trooper in the Westminster barracks and they will do an out of state ccw fingerprint card. The hours in Westminster are Fridays 9-11:30, though I'm hping to get the Carroll County Sheriff Office today to get it done.

I'm in montgomery county and it's not always easy to get away for something as simple as fingerprints.
