CMP M1 Garand

[cyberalex]

Hi everyone. I'm Alex, and I just moved into Howard County from Dorchester County. I have met all of the requirements for the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP), including being a member of the MSRPA, which is affiliated with the CMP, having a valid Wear and Carry Permit, and of course, my forms of I.D to prove that I live in Maryland and that I am of age. Before I make a mail order for the M1 Garand, I am curious as to when my card would be charged, as I do not get paid until the 17th, but since I have to order the M1 Garand by mail, I guess it should be a while before my card is charged. I just worry that they charge it before the 17th, depending on when they receive the mail order.

Don’t order it until the 18th…

They don't charge you until right before they ship it. You have time.

Awesome! Thank you.

What do I do for the far bottom section of page 2A of the CMP order form where it lists "Notary Public" and "My commission expires"?

Ummm... that is, you literally have to take the form to a public notary. You show them a government issued ID, they verify that your ID matches the name put on the paperwork, they then notarize the document.

Most banks have a notary. Just call around.

I see. I never got involved with the notary process before. Thank you.

Banks near me are closed. Where else can I get the form notarized?

probably The post office, but they are probably closed too, this time on a Saturday.

My local ups store has one. Google notary near me.

I found an H&R Block out of town when I searched for "notary near me" I'll plan to go there tomorrow.

I always go to Parcel Plus. Its like a UPS store. I think the fee is $6.

Most insurance agents and car dealers have Notaries.

Most banks will do it for free as a courtesy for their customers. Do you have an account at a local bank?

Yes, but the bank is closed.

I guess I was thinking the post office is too, so you can't mail it until they open, whereupon your bank will probably be open too.

Are you up against a submital deadline? I was down to the wire on my 1911 CMP packet, drove to the bank, got it notorized, had them make some courtesy copies for me, drove to the PO, and then they extended it.

On page 3A of the CMP Universal Order Form, it asks for the sales tax. What do I put in for sales tax?

Start with your own bank -- usually they offer Notary services for free or a small fee for customers. Also, a lot of UPS Service and other neighborhood Mail-Box type stores offer the same service for a fee.

Put in 6%, which is Maryland's sales tax rate.

Op, have you ever shot a m1 before? They kick pretty good. It's not for everyone.
