COE wait time?

[m1a1driver]

Ive had my C&R for a while and i've decided on getting a COE too. How long does it usually take for you to receive it after you mail off the application?

[stitchnicklas]

2-4 weeks

I just got my COE and it was less than two weeks (10 calendar days) from the time I did my livescan. They now collect the $22 COE fee when they do the livescan, along with the state ($32) and FBI ($19) fingerprint fees. Livescan fees vary by location, usually $15-25.

Quick question with a COE I can let my HSC expire? This is what I understood.

4-6 weeks is average. Mine took 4. Renewals are faster, by a bit.

Technically, yes. But I would not. For $5.00 per year cost keep it, at some point it will save you a return trip courtesy of someone who doesn't know any better.

I always bring a 2nd form of residency with me, too many "Ah, I don't think the C & R counts" opinions.

I also keep an electronic copy of my C & R/COE - if you unexpectedly find something (in state or out) you can e-mail a copy to the store from your cell phone while you're standing in their shop.

you still need an HSC for modern handguns. The C&R+COE combo only exempts you from the HSC requirement for C&R handguns.

12807. (a) The following persons, properly identified, are exempted from the handgun safety certificate requirement in subdivision (b) of Section 12801:

(6) A federally licensed collectorwho is acquiring or being loaned a handgun that is a curio or relic, as defined in Section 478.11 of Title 27 of the Code of Federal Regulations, who has a current certificate of eligibility issued to him or her by the department pursuant to Section 12071.

just did my livescan today. they didnt take the coe fee from me, they just charged me the rolling fee plus the DOJ+FBI fees, then I mailed off the application with a $22 money order.

[m1a1driver]

OH poo!, Looks live I overpaid. The dude doing the livescan was wondering why mine cost more. We didnt realize the $22 coe fee was included. Oh well maybe they will credit me for another year or just refund me.
