Approved but no way to download license

I received an email this week stating MPD approved my concealed permit renewal application, and the message directed me to log into the new firearms portal and download my license, but on the page to which they directed me, the field for the download link for each item is blank.

I also tried surfing to the application status page and clicking view detail on the renewal application, which does show a download license button, but clicking it just results in the page refreshing.

I sent an email to MPD, but I'm not holding my breath for an answer.

Anyone else experiencing this issue?

Just posting this for reference since I'm new to the area and just registered my firearms:

Looks like all firearm permits are now digital, because when I registered my guns it asked me if I would like a printed permit in addition to the digital one.

And from the day I got fingerprinted until the day my applications all got approved it was about 2.5 weeks, maybe 3, and the permits are attached to my applications in the DC Firearms Portal.

Genuine Question For Class Action

I’ll start by saying I’m obviously not well versed in any sort of law, nor do I even know what it takes to file such a thing. That said, I’ve seen it mentioned here several times, and have seen many more stories of failure of the system than success stories in the last five or so months. I personally am waiting on a shotgun add-on while already holding a CCW and previous handgun registration. I’m currently sitting at 40 days for my add-on, and when I called and got an answer was basically asked why I was even calling, as they still had 20 days to approve/disapprove my registration. My question is, at this point I am starting to lose hope I’ll be able to obtain my firearm in the legal window, as I’ve seen many here miss, what do we do? How does a class action suit begin, and what are the grounds for it? I have to believe with all the struggle we’ve all gone through in the last 5 months this could be a case? Please educate me on why or why not it could be. Thanks and best of luck to all the rest still waiting!

Edit: I don’t mean my case specifically, but all cases and treatment of legal gun ownership by residents as a whole.

Just a reminder that Peacemaker is hosting a range day on 5/16 from 9am - 5pm. Details are located on their website. There will be vendors at the Liberty Bays and 500 yard Starlight Range. There will also be a multi-gun stage to try out as well. I believe some of the vendors are planning to have prototypes for some of their new products there and it would be the first time these are seen in the wild.

You will have the opportunity to purchase some items onsite and you can special order others onsite. Come out and have a good time if you have any questions reach out to me.

Registration not updated in 5 weeks, normal?

I have a DC CCW. I registered a new pistol on 4/2 on the web portal . As of now, it has been 5 weeks and the portal still says 'submitted'

What’s the typical delay nowadays?

I'm at my wit's end with MPD regarding a denied registration. No one knows anything about it.

My registration of a lower for featureless rifle was denied and I still do not have a reason why it was denied. Its past the 60 day mark and no one at MPD is giving me a straight answer on why it was denied. It doesn't seem like there were any notes on their system. I called almost every week since the denied status appeared on the portal and at the 60 day mark I went in person with a copy of the application form just to give them context. They said they'll get back to me still nothing.

I called today and I had the most unprofessional conversation with one of their officers.
I told him "I submitted an application for a lower registration"
his response "Where did you think you called? This is MPD!"
Me "Yes, I know. I submitted an application for a lower receiver for a featureless build"
his response "We give out licenses.. we don't register lower receivers" (this statement is not even correct it clearly states on our registration card that it is NOT a License to carry)
me "Yes you do. I have successfully registered 2 of them in the past"
his response "What is your DOB? ... wait I'm going to put you on hold"

He then proceeds to put me on hold for over 20 minutes. After that, I realized he just hung up on me without hanging up on me.

I do not know how to proceed from here. If anyone here have any idea on what to do next please let me know.

Hi, in two weeks, I will be in Washington DC for work, and I would like to take half a day on Sunday to try shooting at an American range, as I am used to ranges in France.
Do you know if Maryland Small Arms Range, Inc. open to foreigners, and would you consider it a good option for shooting both a pistol and a rifle (AR-type)?
I do not really have the ability to travel to another range, as I will not have a car, even though some ranges north of Washington seem more interesting.
