WA State Alien Firearms Licenses Part II

MD - congrats on getting you license in the mail!

Steely - that sucks! Guess that's why you should always call ahead ... :s

I'm still waiting on my refusal letter from the Canadian Consulate here. I hope that comes quick, I want to get that license already so I can get my CPL!

You'd think I'd have more patience after sitting around waiting for all the immigration stuff I did a couple years ago. TG I can apply for citizenship next year and be done with the sprawling immigration bureaucracy! :banghead:
 
Ok now I'm pissed off. I just got back from the Sheriffs Office (second time, first time the guy had doctors appointment) 35 miles away, and they call me at home to say they did the finger printing WRONG !!!!!!! Back tomorrow.
They took ink prints, should they take digital ones?

esteli....when did you send letter to canadian consulate.....I sent mine last week... still nothing back yet...
 
Oh o.k....... Thanks MD.......Also, when I get my prints done, does the LEA keep part of my application package and send that in to the DOL.....and then I send in my section of the app....?????
 
Yes, they keep that last few pages, if you look at the back of the last one, that is what they look up on their computer, and they put the little check marks in the boxes...

That is probably what they are using as proof of no criminal record now... the LEA sign-off, and it just gives an "Okay to go" and nothing else...
 
Ladies and Gentlemen, HB1052 is still looking good

This is from the thread in legal:
FYI

Feb 19 Passed to Rules Committee for second reading.

HB 1052-S2 - DIGEST
(DIGEST OF PROPOSED 2ND SUBSTITUTE)
Repeals the current alien firearm license statute and establishes new requirements and procedures governing possession of firearms by noncitizens.
Prescribes penalties.

RE "noncitizens"
Summary of Substitute Bill:
The alien firearm statute is repealed and new requirements for the possession of firearms by non-citizens are established.

The prohibition on a non-citizen's possession of a firearm without an alien firearm license only applies to nonimmigrant aliens. A non-citizen who is not a nonimmigrant alien (e.g., a permanent resident alien) is no longer subject to a criminal penalty for possessing a firearm without having obtained an alien firearm license.

Fingers crossed here folks

Back to the Rules committee

Choppers, I actually called the Consulate rather than mailing them. I got my refusal letter on Wednesday, so it actually got mailed out the day I called last week (On Thursday or Friday, don't remember). Anyone who needs to contact the Canadian Embassy, I highly recommend calling. The lady I spoke with immediately understood the alien firearms licensing process and knew that the refusal letter was what I needed (it came from Ruth Gunn for me as well, seems like she is the lady). Hopefully my license comes as quickly!

I'm still really rooting for HB1052 all the way though. Having the licenses back is just a step towards the right direction.

This is becoming a discussion of the trials and successes in getting the licence and that's going to get the thread shut down since it has moved out of the realm of Activism.

I see two options. Either the OT discussions stop and you can open a thread in general or legal OR I can move this whole thread to Activism Discussion.

Let me know by COB eastern what you'd rather happen.

Question is, do your state rep's ever see your e-mails. I doubt it, their assistants comment on the subject and number if anything. I believe the letter writers have a better chance to get through to the rep's with their mailings. My experience, never got an e-mail reply but have received replies to my letters sent to my state rep. on every letter sent. I will admit some only stated "Thank you for making congressman so and so aware of your concerns" Hope you have more luck than we have here in Florida

My WA State Senator Jim Honeyford, is awesome. He replies back very quickly and it appears to be him in person. He appears to be a strong supporter of the 2nd Amendment.
 
Mine regularly reply, my local guy has my home phone number I have his.

We know each other on a face to face basis, his assistant in Olympia calls me whenever there is a hot topic or something going on, we too have each others cel numbers.

I see them every year at the 4th of July parade.

I work with Sen. Eric Oemig's mother in law, and he has replied to me that he would support the HB.

Most if not all I have contacted have contacted me back, some promptly too.


Anyway, we can discuss this further in the post in the Legal section.

Thanks.
 
Please contact these folks and ask them to support HB1052-10-2009

If that is the same Judiciary as before, then they may just rubber stamp it "Pass", but just in case:

Seems to be dragging a little, put in the emails last week, no response, but did not request one through their form. Thanks for the list MD. I have had responses from my local reps. Cheers.
