Wait time for DC CCW

[songlaw]

And I guess it kind of balances out the disappointment of having PA no longer honor the NH non-res permit... THAT was a waste of $100.

Mr. Ed, congrats!
I will ask the same question as in post #96.

Who the hell did you have to fellate?

 

[songlaw]

Mine came in today's mail. Three months and 3 days. Turned in the app in person Jan 29th. I never would have believed that I'd have a DC permit, especially when I don't qualify for one in my home state. It's kind of anticlimactic... honestly I really don't give a sh!t one way or the other. Can't imagine a good reason to go through DC, other than the 1 or 2 times a year I used to drive over to the Chantilly show, and now that the admission is $16, there's even less of a reason to go there. Still, it'll be nice to have the option if a reason ever comes up.

Mr. Ed: Although we took the class at the same time, my application was in almost 2 months before yours. Glad for you, but this is disconcerting. It should not be this difficult.

I'm afraid that opportunity never came up presented itself.

I might give that method consideration IF it would guarantee me an unrestricted MD permit, cause that's probably the only way I'll ever get one.

I provided a metric crap ton of qualifications and certifications, WAY more stuff than they requested, and although I didn't provide 'lip service' to anyone, I poured on my "Aw shucks, Ma'am" country charm to the nice lady in the window. I thought Jimboy was going to either puke or die laughing, but WTF, it's my schtick, and it works. Sometimes. And it doesn't require a three martini mouthwash afterwards. If anyone's interested, that martini joke 'might' get told at the pig roast. Might throw in the Leprechaun joke for good measure. And with enough alcoholic encouragement, I'll follow up with the secretary joke.

Good for you Mr. Ed and congrats.

Good for you Mr. Ed and congrats.

Thanks. I wish I felt like celebrating, but it's kind of a non-event.

Is there a link to places in DC that are either prohibited or good to go? I half expected that info to be in the letter that came with the permit. Silly me... why would they make it easy. What would be really nice is if there were an app that would map out safe routes and locations through the city.

Yeah but it's still pretty cool to have a DC permit. Never in my lifetime would I have thought that would be possible.

And you will be able to carry at the MOAR rally in September so there's that....

Here's the list of prohibited places. It's not as bad as the list John Lott published a while back. That was in error.

Note that carry in restaurants serving alcohol is legal as long as you don't drink.

Got back from following the Orioles out to Anaheim and Oakland. Disappointing trip.
However, when I checked my mail, my DC Permit finally arrived! Just shy of 5 months. An absurdly long time.

I was surprised they sent the carry permit and another permit for registration of my firearm. I suppose that means that, if I wanted to refister more firearms, I would get a card for each firearm?

Yep.

Edit: BTW, congratulations!

Patience is a virtue. I'm on month eight now waiting for a Maryland review. My renewal will probably trigger the review request again, so I'll have two spots in that queue working.

 

[songlaw]

Wow. You are patient. No other choice, I suppose. Hang in there.

I applied Nov 30 and finally got my permit last Friday.

 

[songlaw]

WTH?

I received my permit two weeks ago. Couple of days ago, got a voice mail from officer King, asking mr to return the call.
I call him back, and he says he is doing an audit. He asks if I received my permit, b/c their records do not reflect whether it was issued or not! He also asked for the issue date, b/c they have no idea.

I waited 5 months for the permit, but they don’t know what’s going on! Kinda worrisome.

Typical DC Govt. incompetence.

When there are lowered standards and no accountability-this is what you get.

I'm not casting aspersions on the rank and file street cops either. Just the bureaucracy and the refusal to hold people accountable..

DC was issuing duplicate license plate numbers a few years back. Friend of mine left DC, and turned his plate in. An argument ensued of his real identity. After a few minutes someone else took over and told him, yeah, we've had some duplicates.

yes and you must carry it. The old paper registrations were not as durable, but since it said a "copy" could be used it was convenient to make a bunch of copies, stick one for each firearm in your safe, one for each in your wallet, and one for each in your car. With the card the regs look to be changed and you must car the original

People might consider if you lose your reg and ccl cards you could get duplicates and if you found them later, you have two of each. We simply don't know whether the district would charge you with a gun crime for the sole infraction of not having them in your possession even though you can bet you would come up on their computer as current and legit.

Yes. You can carry as many different firearms as you wish to register. The first one was free with your permit, subsequent registrations are $13/ea.

 

[songlaw]

Way to carry more than two (10 round) mags?

Yes. You can carry as many different firearms as you wish to register. The first one was free with your permit, subsequent registrations are $13/ea.

This would not be the cheapest, but...
Say I register 2 firearms in DC. Am allowed to carry two 10 round mags per firearm? Interchangeable mags, for sake of argument. Say I lock one in a portable safe in the trunk, basically forget about it.

Can I carry/transport 40 rounds (in 4 mags), defeating the 20 round limit? Or is it 20 rounds, regardless of how many registered firearms that one is carrying?

Just wondering...

Extra points given for creativity but no. 20 rounds total or one reload is the way the law is written. If you carry 10+1 your spare mag must also be downloaded to 9.
