    But there have been reports of DC denial based on that. We both know MSPLD makes sczit up.
    Yep, and someone that gets denied for that reason needs to take MSP to court and challenge them since it is NOT in State Statute.

    Except statute says you need to apply for an exemption each and every time. Seems the regulation is there to streamline the process, if the regulation is thrown out then designated collector goes away.

    Um, that's not the way it works. Maybe Dan has the time to explain it.

    Dan, I agree, it is more made up stuff by MSPLD. If someone challenged it, they might not even waste our tax money trying to defend it.

    Yep, regulations get their teeth from statutes.

    No statute-no regulation.

    Just look at the single shot requirement for HQL.

    Not in the statute-but there it is

    Except some of us have been doing this for a very long time, and know a bit more.

    No it doesn't, MSP originally issued the DC letter without having to previously own a handgun.

    Yep - this was discussed some time ago (2013 or 2014) when MSP decided to require a handgun purchase to qualify for the DC letter. No one has stepped up because everyone that applies for it buys the BS and is afraid to challenge it.

    Thank you for the clarification and some history. Too late for me now, hopefully others might find this thread useful in the future.
