Ok, so I got my firearms id card a few months ago. Also got 3 permits and will be buying my a sig 9mm next week which will the last of my 3 permits used up. My question is, now that I have a firearms ID card, next time I want to get a permit to purchase do I have to go through the whole process of fingerprinting, references, mental health checks etc......

Everything but the fingerprinting is the same. In leiu of fingerprinting they will do a non-criminal background check (form SP-212A) at a cost of $18 to you. The form is only available at your PD.

 

Being your second time around, some PD's may not call or send out letters to your references, but I'd be prepared to wait as long as you did on your initial application.

 

Good luck.

 

Adios,
