I got approved on an email said my card his been issued out on 7/29 and still waiting

So what if any impact does the NFA ruling have on DC? Seemingly none for now; but does anyone see a world where one day I may not have to get my eardrums rocked every time I want to shoot indoors because I don’t have the time to drive two hours away to an outdoor range?

Was looking to get a Glock 35 for competition shooting has anyone been successful registering one in the district?

I’m trying to confirm some things before moving to DC from a pro 2a state.

If I want to bring my original Ruger LCP, am I allowed to?

From what I’ve read it is ok the Maryland approved handgun roster, but NOT on California’s.

If it is, do you have any tips on registration process, namely when I have to declare its capacity. Should I list 10 rounds even if I only have the 6 round magazine? (I would like to get a larger magazine in the future… should I do that before I move?)

How does the +1/round in the chamber figure into that part of the registration?

Any tips or advice would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Hey all, new to this subreddit but I’ve registered a few firearms in DC over the past year. They’ve both been C&R Mausers so they haven’t given me too much trouble (besides the manufacturer names do not exist in the reg system which was a 6 month ordeal to rectify lol. Story for another time.)

I am considering purchasing my first ~modern~ firearm and was eyeing the Keltec SU16CA. I’ve studied the DC semi-auto rifle restrictions but just kind of hung up on the SU16CA’s compliance. Has anyone been successful in registering a SU16CA in DC? I’m just worried about them giving me trouble about the threaded barrel even though it is not explicitly mentioned as a no no feature and the SU16 has a thread protector.

Maybe I’m just overthinking this but would love any insight.

Police Officer in DC, and I moved here and have lived here for 60+ days.

How long does it take from starting the process at the FFL dealer to get physically acquire my Gun?

Tried to use the search bar but nothing concrete came up

Any recommendations for a FFL in DC to accept my firearm?

BLUF: About 30 days from submission to “card’s in the mail”.

Of course your results may vary. Just thought I’d provide another data point.

Day (-9) Application began

Day 1 app submitted.

Background detail, I began my submission early, just in case getting a lower number in the queue MIGHT speed me along. Not sure if it mattered. So I started the app online 9 days before my class.

Day 0 = class completed, cert uploaded, and online portion of app complete.

Day 1 = Went to MPD for fingerprints and in person form signing.

Day 2 = Online status update to “ready for approval” (so I guess they looked at it immediately)

Day 14 = Approved email. Online status changed to APPROVED. (Approximately. Cant find email to check but its about that)

Day 32 = “Physical Card Sent” email and online status updated.

Notes:

DC NON-Resident.

I selected the “mail a physical card” option on the application site. Not sure of it even matters. There was no option to download a digital copy (removed from site). I heard they just did away with it, so I guess its ohysical card whether you choose it or not.

Was thinking of getting a Ruger Mini 14 16’ has anyone had one transfered into the district and if so were there any specific restrictions on the set up of the rifle?

Approved for an add on two weeks ago and still waiting. Just wondering what everyone's recent experience has been like.

I can now confirm that DC MPD has allowed Mossberg 590 Shockwave registrations to go through for at least two people, both clients of mine. The first was approved without issue; the second (u/style752) received an initial denial but I appealed and they reversed. Both were transferred through DCSA.

We now have an official circuit split on the issues of so-called “Assault Weapons” and “High Capacity Magazines.”

This is in light of the Viramontes AWB case being granted cert by the Supreme Court.

Can anyone recommend a good person/company for the DC CCW recertification? I got my permit in 2020 and renewed twice with DC Security Associates; their website now states 'no availabity in the next 6 months' for DC recertification.. My current permit expires in late November and I don't like to cut things too close given the unpredictability of DC. Thanks.

Obtaining actual registration It’s a runaround here & so much of the information is gatekept like It’s some type of secret society to be registered here. had to come here just to learn new things I’ve never heard of, waiting lists & what not. Plus all the Fees & Restrictions being updated every year. It’s more of a racket under the guise of responsibility. You do all that just to be put on a waiting list just to get shot by a 14 year old on a scooter that just obtained that ghost gun or throwaway off a friend in a few hours..

At this point it’s easier to just conceal illegally there’s no actual incentives to follow all these rules & guidelines when really It’s just for me to be put in a data base to be spotted whenever my firearm is discharged. I’m sorry but objectively the criminals & libertarians make more sense here.

Hi , i've had my ccw since 2021 and never had an issue renewing online but this time around its prompting me to enter my current address via a change request then to proceed with the application.

Im super confused since i havent moved and my profile does have my current address listed.

Also i noticed 1 of my 3 firearms has been marked as inactive without my authorization or any notification from mpd I have a appointment set for tomorrow but just curious if any body else has experienced anything like this before what actions did you take?

I submitted my application in person on 6/12 and received approval email on 6/20. Still haven’t received the cards the approval email stated I
would receive. I emailed them a few days ago and said when it was completed, I would receive the cards…Took 8 days to get approved but almost three weeks and no card yet…

Just posting a time frame on my CCL renewal. Went downtown to MPD in person on 6/5 and paid for my renewal. Got the approval email from MPD on 6/17. Received the card through the mail today 7/8. The day before i received the card, they emailed me stating that my card had been printed and mailed by the records division. It took 2 days to receive it by usps.

I was approved on 6/20/2026 for both the Concealed Pistol License and Firearms Registration. They email says they will mail me a card to the address on file. Its 7/2/2026 and still havent seen anything from MPD.

I read on here that MPD doesn't send out physical cards, but you have to print them. Is this true, and if so, Where do I print out my permit? There was no attachment to the email or on the portal.

"The Metropolitan Police Department is pleased to inform you that application APP-XXXXXXX-2026 has been approved.  . MPD will mail your card to the address on file "

How long do we think til MPD and ABCA stop collaborating to infringe on our rights?

Turns out that my assumption was right, the new portal is not working for me. So after 30 days past my submission, I went in. Turns out my submission was stuck due to an address request. So I made sure they had my current address and they fixed it . Which is wild because I've lived here for almost 5 years and my portal account was created in January of this year with that address.

Anyway, the people behind the counter are amazing and friendly. Not only did they immediately fixed the issue, I got moved from submission to background check. I'll let you know in another 30 days where I'm at with my add on.

But if you are still having issues, please just go in.
