My gun registration is approved
by Emily Miller
Washington Times
Nine days after I gave the police department my application to register my gun in Washington, D.C, I called to find out whether the application had been approved. It had- yes! This meant that I could soon take possession of a gun that, though I technically own it, has been sitting in a locked safe in the offices of the city's only gun dealer.
Yet things are still never as simple as they seem when it comes to District gun regulations. I had to delve further into the convoluted and undocumented laws and rules before I could actually bring my gun home.
To get to this point, I had to complete a number of steps at the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD). Last Wednesday, I took and passed a written test on District gun laws. Then I gave the registration office a complete set of my fingerprints, $60 in cash and a stack of papers.
The documents included: a signed certification that I completed the mandatory 5-hour gun "safety" course; an eligibility form signed by a notary public; an application form filled out by D.C. gun dealer Charles Sykes; a form accepting the $35 fee to take my fingerprints; and an approval for the city to do a background check on me.
It doesn't take over a week to go through the documents. The city has a 10-day waiting period for, which Officer Hall in the registry office calls, "the cool down laws."
But there's an unwritten policy that lets you use a receipt showing the day you purchased the gun (before having it transferred by Mr. Sykes) to subtract the elapsed days off your waiting period.
Since my credit card was charged the previous Monday, they took two days off my cool down period. It is unclear, but perhaps registrants can skip a second trip to MPD by buying the gun and then waiting ten days before registering it.
I knew better than to go down to the registry office without calling first to check on every possible missed detail. The first woman who answered the phone put me on hold. A second woman then picked up. I asked if my application had been approved. She put me on hold again.

Aug 5, 2012 - So true, the govt wants criminals to reoffend without being threatened or killed because the create more demand for mental, medical, legal, judicial, legislation, etc ... it is all aimed at creating problems so this whole corrupt social/legal system flourishes! We look at Sharia Law and slam it, but in the case of criminals vs innocents, it is way more just, but it would not allow the corruption to continue due to the lack of criminals!

Aug 5, 2012 - Your first paragraph nailed it, but I would never consider sharia law as the law of the land here in the U.S. Our Un~government is practicing "PROBLEM REACTION SOLVING", or as we know it to be "Never let a good crisis go to waste" and they create as many as they can to to keep themselves in business. "All Smoke and Mirrors", "Liberal LaLa Land inhabitants". There's a Texas saying (maybe elsewhere), If you don't start NO trouble, there won't be NO trouble.

Aug 5, 2012 - I was using Sharia Law to make a point ... I think that this system is too focused on revenue and justice has been sold out for the victim! Who can the families of the murderer in the colorado Theatre blame when they don't get real justice for the murder of their loved ones? They should see the real criminals are those in office who chose to protect the criminal! The denver shooter should be executed for his crimes, anything less is BS!

Aug 5, 2012 - Ben5017, you're correct. U can't argue w/sanity, but until we get back there we're destined to work thru B.S. Yes, inmates (gov.t) are running the U.S, monitoring each other's illegal actions, All are complicit 4 acts against U.S. citizenry as well as war crimes against other countries. I think this says it all.....REVENUERS GONE WILD. imho, Denver massacre was collateral damage, the shell game, a diversion and certainly a false flag. When you have no soul, then what? MGHMOTS!
