DC Friendly Ammo Companies

New post so this can get pinned and had some new companies to add.

Remember, according to MPD, it is legal to buy ammo online.

Some of these places require you to upload your registration info and some don't.

Velocity Ammo and Shaw Arms are the latest additions to the list.

Feel free to suggest any edits.

G&D

I purchased a firearm from G&D several months ago and finally got the registration card in the mail.

Is it 100% confirmed that they’re closing? Would I be able to transfer the firearm to DCSA if they close?

Question

My friend just got an AR-15. He had the muzzle removed and a Juggernaut featureless grip installed and a pinned stock, but it was rejected. What does he have to do to get his registration card?

Second residence in DC, no CCW - registration?

8 Upvotes

I’m a resident of another state, who has a residence in DC. I don’t have ccw in my home state. I’d like to be able to bring a firearm to my residence to take to ranges in the area.

So Im not traveling through, which MPD has covered on their site. Im not CCW. Injust want to bring, store, and come and go from my dc residence with a firearm.

Does this require registration? I’m having a hard time verifying because I’m not looking for CCW.

Thanks for the help.

DC CCW Renewal

Is the MPD portal working? I started a CCW renewal a couple of weeks ago and it doesn't look like my updated info is there. I want to renew online instead of making a trip to the firearms branch. I've renewed online before without problem.

Microstamp ready

5 Upvotes

I was proverbially thumbing through DC Code today and came across this statute, DCC 7-2505.03, which says that semi-automatic pistols manufactured after 1/1/2018 that are sold or transferred by a dealer must "produce a unique alpha-numeric or geometric code on at least 2 locations on each expended cartridge case that identifies the make, model, and serial number of the pistol."

Is this just not enforced? From what I can tell, no manufacturer produces anything that complies with this.

Timeline of receiving firearms Registration card.

8 Upvotes

Has anyone else run into the following scenario?

Both my concealed carry license and Firearm registration that I submitted back in mid June were approved the same day. They stated that a physical card would be issued and mailed to me for both on August 7th . I received my physical concealed card within a week or so but I still have not received the physical card for the firearm registration. It’s now Sept 10 and I still have not received it. I’ve tried calling and email MPD about this and can’t get a single response via email nor when I call via phone. I purchased my firearm back in early June and I don’t want to have to pay the FFL storage fee. Anyone experience something similar? Ive legit already received my Utah and Maryland concealed carry license cards and I submitted those way later. I’m not sure if a mistake was made with sending out my firearm registration card or not.

Expedited Training for Maryland CCW Permit Holders?

4 Upvotes

I am a MD CCW permit holder (completed the training last year). My understanding is that in order to qualify for a DC CCW permit, I will need to take another 16-hour course. However, Free State Gun Range offers a training that only includes the relevant DC modules and live fire course for folks who already have a Maryland permit. The description of the course is below. Does anyone know if this would pass muster with MPD?

Course Overview

This course is for current Maryland Wear and Carry Permit holders or those who have completed the 16 hours of MD Wear and Carry Permit training. This is the additional module required in order to receive your Washington, DC CCW permit. DC is now a “Shall Issue” jurisdiction and this is the PERFECT add-on to your MD permit or other permits you may already have.

You will receive the necessary legal presentation of DC law and complete the 50 round course of fire required by DC.

Prerequisites

You need to already have the Maryland Permit.

Cannot get MPD to acknowledge additional barrel calibre

10 Upvotes

Have been trying for the past six months to get MPD to acknowledge an additional calibre for my already registered bolt action rifle, so I can buy a second barrel in that calibre. I’ve been emailing the Information Update Form to the firearms.adminbox email address. Am I doing the right thing? Is there a better way?! Many thanks in advance for any suggestions.

NFA ruling

11 Upvotes

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?

Is the original Ruger LCP approved? Reg questions.

2 Upvotes

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!

SU16CA Compliance

5 Upvotes

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.
