I know I read a thread on this a while back but cant find it,   Is it legal to laminate your card and where is a good place to have it done.   I have the kit from staples but they are not very heavy duty.

 

  thanks   

Yes. My first one was done by the gun store when I bought my first pistol.

 

Staples in store will do it for a dollar.

I had staples do mine also. Never had a problem

My gun shop laminated mine, but my police dept. is very cool. IIRC my friend lived in Bayonne and his PD advised his PD told him not to laminate his FID. I think he did it anyway though.

The police detective from whom I got the card advised to laminate it.  I've done it in Staples.

great,  thanks for the reply's

Did mine at staples as well

Fed-ex Kinkos. Very heavy duty laminate.

Did it myself because I had to fold it in order to carry in wallet.

Good point.  For some dumb reason, it's just a little too big to fit properly in a wallet.

 

And yes, Staples.

I trimmed mine a little around the edges so after it got laminated it is the same size as a DL. Staples laminated it. 

My pd did mine

Yeah, i think it depends from PD to PD. Mine told me to walk across the street and do it immediately because replacing them is a PITA if the original isn't at least somewhat intact. Did mine at FedEx, cost under 2$. I Suggest you do as that guy above said and trim the card a bit (WITHOUT CUTTING ANY INFO) so that it actually fits. I didn't know any better and now mine doesn't fit in my wallet properly. I Put it in the bill area and it's slightly jacked up where it got bent to hell from me opening and closing the wallet.

My local PD encouraged me to do it and recommended Staples.

Mine was laminated by the detective himself.

My pd did mine

Mine also.

And yes, Staples.

They did it on purpose, just another way to annoy us.

I used 3" case sealing tape.

Staples - luggage Tag laminate was just the right size.  trimmed it down so it would fit in my wallet

I used 3" case sealing tape.

This...on everything

Mine is laminated, never had a problem.

 

I think I had it done at a Kinkos or a Mail Boxes etc type place.

If you don't use at least 3 mil laminating sheets you can do 4 years for non-standard plastic.  

Staples here heavy duty and paid $2

PD did mine also.

I just bought the clear adhesive plastic laminate sheets from Staples and did it myself and trimmed it to the size I wanted so it fits in my wallet.

It makes practical sense for durability and is not rocket science.....

Yeah my PD recommended laminating mine. A guy at work did it for me. We have a laminating machine fortunately.

Mine is laminated, although no longer valid with the new laws/regs. This was a long time ago, but I think the cops told me to laminate it. I believe I bought something out of a vending machine that put two sticky pieces of plastic together over it.

Was the it standing next to the cigarette vending machine?

Actually, today's lamination dispensers are usually wall-mounted next to the tampon dispensers

Did mine at staples yesterday for $1. The lady behind the counter was a total Hillary supporter and looked at me like she wanted to charge me $10
