License to carry concealed firearm (DC)

zoopal · Oct 29, 2021

Effective November 1st, 2021 The firearms registration Branch will begin issuing mobile registration and Licenses, which individuals can print or store on their smartphones. That means plastic ID card for firearm registration and concealed carry License are no longer issue. :thumbsup:

COOL! Any word if you can convert your already received plastic ID to digital? Or is this only for "new" licenses/renewals?

I like my card it is old school and I am old . I like to have my information for cop as he approaches . Fumbling with a phone that will look like a gun will be exciting

Especially if it looks like a cell phone gun holster...but wallet holsters for guns have been out there for many years.

Plus the fact that to display the "electronic" version stored on your phone requires it to be unlocked...I will not hand an unlocked electronic device to a law enforcement officer absent a properly executed warrant.

You better hope to keep a good charge on your phone too.

Hopefully in several months none of this will be needed. I'll definitely be printing mine out on paper. No way I'm handing over my phone to show my license.

We can call and confirm the status but in DC it just makes life more friendly to have the card.

I also won’t be the one stopping you so there’s that

This is epic stupid.

I don't think so. I believe mobile License and registration are faster process and you don't have to check your mail box and pray it coming on time or lost somewhere.

Agree

If speed and streamlining was the goal, they would allow a complete online application process.

If they really wanted to make it easy, they would go constitutional carry and drop the permit process and the 16 hr initial class.

Even with no mailed permits, the process still sucks and I have to show up for my initial application to apply.

I would pay extra for a card. I don't always have my phone or an electronic device to pull my permit up in. I'm not handing my phone to LE unless there's a warrant.

Just like other guy said - pretty stupid if your batteries on the phone dies...

better come up with a good story for the officer...

That's really going to work well here in Luddite Land. Does the license come with a new iPhone?

Fredcohunter · Oct 30, 2021

After I got my MD permit I had planned to get my DC permit, then I decided instead to never step foot in or drive through DC again. Haven’t been in 2 years and the plan is working well.

The process will go on line in the near future. The only reason for the delay is waiting for the back ground check to come back which MPD can't control it.
You should print out your License and leave your copy in the vehicle or wallet, so you don't have to worry about your phone run out of battery.......
I agree with you, I prefer having a plastic card.

All of this x1000.

They purposely make you appear in person as an intentional infringement. They purposely “matured” the registration process so what used to take 20 minutes now takes 60 days as an intentional infringement. If I would hazard a guess, the only reason things are going digital is the card stock costs them more than the thirteen bucks they rob you of to exercise an enumerated right.

So where are these digital cards? I’m not seeing anything new on OVERS or the main site.

I added bold. This is not true. The DC CCPL licenses are virtually always held to make it 90 days even if the background check is completed in 10 days.

As far as carrying printed version in wallet, we used to have that for registration. We fought long and hard to get plastic cards. And a printed version on a PDF ANYONE can edit is probably not going to be recognized by a cop at night wiht DC GRU closed for the evening in jurisdictions that honor DC permit (and most do).

DC has allowed you to go down there and pick up your plastic CCPL without it being mailed.
