Just went through the initial interview in Dublin. The deputy who conducted it was nice, polite and wished me good luck. Everything was well organized. She mentioned that they got a lot of applications and it may take some time until the next step. There were a lot of questions about firearm storage and how many firearms I have (even though they have a full DDROs printout on my name). It turned somewhat vague because I have a bunch of miscellaneous AR receivers (serialized, not 80%), that I haven't assembled into anything yet and I don't even remember exact number and type of those on top of my head. My suggestion is make a list of your firearms before you go.

Why would they ask you how many firearms you have? That isn't even relevant to the whole process, only thing that would be relevant would be to ask you about the firearm you listed when you filled out the application .

That questions was not on the initial application (that is filled online), but it was on the one they fill out during the interview. They only asked the total number of rifles/shotguns/handguns. I don't think bringing DROS records would help - they have it on file anyway. Just count your firearms before you go if you have more than a few.

Thank you Sir!

And good luck..

Good news but Strange they are really dragging their feet for 2 months if you applied on the day 23rd. They could have told you to complete steps 1-4 on the spot.

The next phase of the policy.
1. Pay fees
2. Livescan
3. Training notice
4. FA registration

5. Possible Psyc assessment
6. Range Qualification.

Congrats!

Did you get fingerprinted and photographed and asked for references?

Was any mention of the next step is Psych or training?

Thanks! None of the above happened. I assume, getting fingerprinted would be the next step if my case gets an initial approval by the sheriff.

Is the “ number of firearms you own “ a question on the application or in the interview?
You stated they had a DROS printout.
Would it be a good idea to bring your DROS paperwork to the interview?

There were a lot of questions about ... how many firearms I have (even though they have a full DDROs printout on my name).

That's extremely concerning. That's absolutely none of their business and has zero relevance to getting a permit.

P.S. I applied on Bruen's evening.

From what lawyers are saying the Interview, Psychological, and Range qualifications are all out of compliance with the other 43 states and the judge's orders.

I was just thinking that - how can the Interview and Psych test be objective per se? At least with a Range qual, it's objective whether you can make a grouping (of a set maximum size) or not. Hit the target hanger at 7 yards and you're out.

Just submitted my application over the weekend, now we wait

It would be nice to have a pro 2A lawyer with you during the interview….

All you need is the ruling. And only a few paragraphs to display they are not in compliance and are discriminating against your rights.

Page 3
The second Amendment guarantees an “individual right to possess and carry weapons.

Page 68-69
IV The constitutional right to bear arms in public for self-defense is not “a second-class right, subject to an entirely different body of rules than the other Bill of Rights guarantees.” McDonald, 561 U. S., at 780 (plurality opinion). We know of no other constitutional right that an individual may exercise only after demonstrating to government officers some special need.
Justice THOMAS.


Page 80
By contrast, 43 States employ objective shall-issue licensing regimes. Those shall-issue regimes may require a license applicant to undergo fingerprinting, a background check, a mental health records check, and training in firearms handling and in laws regarding the use of force, among other possible requirements. Going forward, therefore, the 43 States that employ objective shall-issue licensing regimes for carrying handguns for self-defense may continue to do so.

Likewise, the 6 States including New York potentially affected by today’s decision may continue to require licenses for carrying handguns for self-defense so long as those States employ objective licensing requirements like those used by the 43 shall issue States.
Justice KAVANAUGH J., concurring

To my understanding you only need to provide 1 ID and 2 proof of residency documents.

I'm an overachiever.

I responded to the email pretty much daring them to straight up deny me at this point for “failure to submit photos of the inside of my home” and got a cordial reply that they will “deal with the issue” when I “come in for the interview”. Not sure that that means but I guess we shall see.

I understand that there will be some seemingly nonsensical hoops to jump through until they are further sued into submission. and if they want to know what make/model safe I have that’s fine but I just don’t feel I should have to supply them pictures of the inside of my actual home. That’s some big brother Soviet Union era communistic crap right there.

It would be nice to have a pro 2A lawyer with you during the interview….
