I also emailed the state before the cutoff date, because I didnt receive any submission emails, and low and behold they showed 1 shy of what I submitted, I emailed the already submitted copy of the missing 414c, all got cleared up, received all my confirmation emails. this whole thing is such a shit show, for the state and us. they will need to approve all 414c's at this point, the citizen submitted, the states portal F'd up, not sending confirmation emails, loosing 414c's, etc. hope everyone has copies of everything to prove they complied if SHTF. |

I still only have the first few that I submitted early, but not the ones I submitted closer to the deadline. |

I am lucky as I already SBR'd the ones I wanted before this nonsense. I feel bad for younger people who can't exercise their rights. They banned the most common firearm in America. |

As a dealer I used to have to write these stupid letters for customers. I used to just say that no reliable manufacturing information is available. I would point out that internet serial number searches are our best resource. However if the exact date of manufacture is needed a simple gun trace request to the ATF will give you the exact manufacturing date on any firearm manufactured or imported into the US. My letter would say a bit more than this, but this is the basic letter. It was a form letter, and only the firearm information was changed as needed. |

Out of the ten I submitted electronically via the online portal on April 1st 2023, I've only received two certificates of possession back. I received the two separate emails on December 21st with the DPS-414-C form attached with a certificate number assigned. Out of all of them, these two were the only AR style receivers (others) I purchased post 2013 ban. And both were ones I got SBR'ed during the ATF free form 1 amnesty period. The rest I'm waiting on are mostly pre-1994 ban items I was forced to register this time around. I had DPS3 for all of those, but I'm wondering if the hold up is because they have to investigate if each one was actually manufactured prior to September 13th 1994. I have no idea how they could even accomplish that since lot's of manufacturers have gone out of business or changed ownership since 1994. Not like there's a serial number list for every pre-ban! |

It's a cluster F to be sure. Stupid gun hating Dem legislators mandate the law abiding register their lawfully possess property, with a law that says you must have a certificate to possess it, but then don't fund SLFU so they can hire enough people to process those applications and issue certificates. Instead its something like 2-4 people at SLFU processing 50,000 AW applications. People have reported being contacted by SLFU to provide additional information or documentation for the AW application they submitted. Ran the numbers once and it would take them something like 2 and a half years to process all the applications working 8 hours a day to do so. I think someone claimed the few people doing it were processing them after their normal day jobs. Not sure if that claim was true. Whole lot of people who complied are going to be waiting a very long time to get their AW certs. Going to be hilarious if the AWB gets ruled unconstitutional in a year or three, and people are still waiting for their AW certs. |

Technically no, but that won't stop ban states (or Democrats) from trying do so. From Heller: The handgun ban amounts to a prohibition of an entire class of “arms” that is overwhelm-ingly chosen by American society for that lawful purpose. The prohibition extends, moreover, to the home, where the need for defense of self, family, and property is most acute. Under any of the standards of scrutiny that we have ap-plied to enumerated constitutional rights,27 banning from the home “the most preferred firearm in the nation to ‘keep’ and use for protection of one’s home and family,” 478 F. 3d, at 400, would fail constitutional muster. |

The confusion is intentional. INTENTIONAL. If I had a Glock switch in New Haven I wouldn't be confused, or likely give a fuck. Or, be prosecuted with the same fervor and zeal as a law abiding, tax paying, decent individual with an intact nuclear family. Again, intentional. INTENTIONAL. Tell me I'm wrong. |

This whole thing was a joke. I used there portal, which was cumbersome at best. I screen shot everything because i was concerned about the shit show that may ensue, turns out that was a smart decisioon. I emailed Deirdra a handful of times - shes amazing to deal with and super helpful. I expressed my concerns to her and asked if i could meet her in person to hand over forms because of the issues, she agreed. I went to DESPP met with her in the lobby, and took care of it with her directly - the trooper at the entrance desk was also super helpful and time stamped everything for me with her initials and badge number so im covered if something ever came up. That being said i NEVER got any confirmation emails. This state is so effed. |

There was also an issue with the portal where it would automatically change your state of residence to an random default when you saved a draft. Not everyone noticed it, and not everyone was affected, but for a short period of time SLFU thought I lived in Alaska. It was discovered & resolved a few months later in a transaction at NGX. It's a total goat rope. |
LEGALIZE FREEDOM!

I'm still waiting. Anyone who has received theirs electronically, what was the sender info/name on the email? It's been so long since I received the confirmation of my submittal! I looked in my email. My submission was 4/4/2024. From: [email protected] Certificate of Possession Application Submitted Initially when I was searching my email I failed to include the S in DESPP. |
|
I got an e-mail reply for each when I submitted them, but have heard nothing since. Mine were a couple of pre-ban Rugers, that the Ruger website shows the date of manufacture. The rest are some version of AR “Others”. I was worried about an Eagle Arms preban, but that was purchased a decade ago as a stripped receiver, so that too was an “Other”, and it was never built into anything else. Oh, and I registered a SVT-40. It has an early muzzle device, and I didn’t want to argue about if it was a flash hider. |

I was one of the first to cum ply. There was no way I was goings to let Nutter out cum ply me. I ain't haven't not never heard back except for the submission confirmation emale. |

Yep total cluster - F. 50K or so submitted during the last open registration period and because of staffing and budget issues SLFU apparently only has something like two to four people processing the applications, possibly just during their free time. If you start to estimate just how long it might take for even four people to process that many applications (even quickly) you see it ends up being several years. That doesn't even account for application mistakes forcing them to contact the applicant to correct the mistake, or checking preban status, that only adds even more processing time for each application. One only wonders how SLFU feels knowing that the gun grabbing Democrat politicians will very likely propose expanding the AWB list in the 2027 legislative session (if not in this budgetary legislative session). The Democrat politicians will heap even more AW applications onto the existing pile and not give it a second thought because it doesn't affect most of them. Meanwhile the peasants, little people, plebs, surfs, unclean, "those people" etc. have to suffer and comply and wait. Even if SCOTUS were to finally grant a AWB case there is no guarantee they'd rule entirely for the pro rights/pro 2A side. It is doubtful there would be enough justices to form a majority to write a definitive opinion (likely from Thomas) smacking down any and all AWB's and LCM bans and ending this garbage once and for all. It would all depend on exactly what that opinion they hand down would say, if like past 2A opinions will will be wishy washy rather than concise and definitive. As of now there doesn't seem to be a burning desire by Roberts to deal with the revolt happening by many lower courts who are ignoring or blatantly giving the middle finger to SCOTUS over Bruen (and Heller, Chicago, Caetano, and Rahimi). SCOTUS seems content for now to keep the Second Amendment as a second class right. If or when SCOTUS ever does take up an AWB or LCM case it will very likely be six months or more before they issue an opinion. Then the whole circle jerk of Democrat politicians enacting more laws in defiance of SCOTUS followed by law suits over that defiance starts all over again (aka what NY did after Bruen). /Saturday morning rant off |
