After your application is approved, do they send you an email or paper mail, or both?
Thanks.
Thanks.
Nope, no one ever asks for it. But they know at MSP when approving your 77R. There is a question on the 77R that asks if you are a designated collector. Check the box that says YES. That's it.I have it, but have never used it. To those who have, do you need to present that letter when you make your purchase?
Letter in the mail. Takes a few weeks.
Yes, white envelope, from State of MD or something.Thanks.
What does it look like? Is it addressed from Maryland State Police? My roommate is often the person who checks my mail. I certainly do not want him to freak out.
If I ever decide to sell some of my collection and an overzealous prosecutor wants to jam me up for not having a FFL01 under the craziness that is flying around right now, this is my prima fascia evidence that I am a collector, not dealer.

Yeah, um...MSP has said the the letter does not convey that.If I ever decide to sell some of my collection and an overzealous prosecutor wants to jam me up for not having a FFL01 under the craziness that is flying around right now, this is my prima fascia evidence that I am a collector, not dealer.

It's only purpose is to be able to purchase more than one regulated firearm in a 30 day period.
Did they change it again? When I got mine a few years ago it was an attachment to an email.Letter in the mail. Takes a few weeks.

Nothing in state statute makes the claim that the designated collector letter confers collector status to the holder. It's only purpose is to permit the holder to bypass the one gun in 30 days rule.Good old MSP, making it up as they go along.
Who needs a legislature, anyway? They'll only write some vague scribble based on zero facts, and leave the interpretation to the guys with the guns.
Then why call it "designated collector"? Words used to have specific meanings.
Also I recall it permitting collectors (there's that word again) to bring firearms for public and private display.
Of course that too is subject to MSP interpretation, doubtless in a repressive direction.
