Hello From Mahwah / College Park,MD

I've been lurking the past couple months and thought I would finally introduce myself. I am from Mahwah and go to school at the University of Maryland. Over Thanksgiving I decided I wanted to apply for my FID but never did then in December over my break I wanted to but the wait for fingerprints was longer than my break so I couldnt. I have only shot a gun once when I was 10 years old, some .22lr rifle. It was at some ranch and I remember a ten year old me walking up to the counter without my parents and handing the guy money to buy 50 rounds of .22lr in New York. I do have a .20 Pellet gun in PA as well as a compound bow.

Right now I am trying to figure out how I can try to apply for an FID before summer as well as my first purchases. Driving back to Mahwah just to apply is not feasible. I am thinking of a Mosin and a 1911 as my first purchases.

    Hello Terrapin .....and welcome.

     

    Maybe you can schedule a fingerprinting appointment ahead of your break with morphotrak and then just drop off the application in Mahwah ( unless they require an appointment)......phone the PD.

     

    Cant you just get a gun there? Are you a resident of Maryland Currently?..........maybe you ll become a Virginia Resident?

    Ay guns you bring out of state here , rifles , pistols are ok. You dont need an FID to own them, just to buy ammo.

    Thanks.

    I am an NJ resident. I thought morphotrack required the number the PD gives you when you hand in the application in order to make an appointment.

    I guess a phone call to the Mahwah PD is in order.

    thanks.

    Im hoping getting the FID wont be an uphill battle. I saw my mayor signed the Mayors Against Guns thing. Also in College Park the police have recently sent out a press report saying "Here are some warning signs of concern...Possession of a weapon" and that if you see anybody with a weapon to call 911 and the police will immediately respond and intervene.
