Sure, they'll gladly take your money. Sometimes they will give change, but it would be the exception not the rule.

They don't ask for a copy of a plane ticket...

Thanks for clearing that up for me  :)

Help me figure out how to acquire my first two handguns...please! I'm so confused.  :grrr: Here's my situation...

-I just got my handgun training course affidavit in the mail.
-I already purchased two handguns - one from OGC, the other from Magnum.
-OGC will be closed 12/22 and will reopen 1/4.
-I don't know Magnum's holiday hours.
-I haven't done my first trip to HPD yet.

So if I go to HPD tomorrow and apply for my permit, I'll have to wait until 12/25 - 12/31 to pick up my permit, correct? What happens if I pick up my permit on 12/27...do I have to get my OGC gun and return to HPD no later than Jan. 1? What should I do?  ??? Is it a must that I return to HPD with my handguns no later than 5 days after I pick up my permit?

Can multiple handgun permits be applied for at the same time?

this is also my dillema.

I believe once you get the permit to acquire from HPD, that is good for 10-14 days.  I forget exactly.
once you get the gun, you have 3-5 days to return to HPD to register it.

but I forget exactly the time periods you are talking about.

i asked the same question on the last page of this thread, was given a link to HPD website, but the website did not clearly state those time periods.
i guess we could call HPD.  but that would be too easy.  lol.

If I recall from last time it is 10 days to pick up and 5 days to register. (this includes weekends so if you pick it up on friday you have to get in by tuesday)

Hi guys, what happens when you don't give exact change? What if I gave them $17 and said keep the change? Would they take it?

Back when it was $19.25, i told them to keep the change, but they still made me go and get change...

Me too. They did that to another recently. They made them go to the shop across the way to get change as well.

I had the same questions as stangzilla so I called HPD to confirm the following:

A rifle or pistol permit must be picked up within 6-calendar days including the first pickup day.

Once the permit is picked up, it is valid for:
Rifle – 365 calendar days.
Pistol – 10 calendar days.

Once the firearm is picked up, it must be registered within:
Rifle – 5 calendar days.
Pistol – 2 calendar days

thank you for calling. :shaka:



my first gun registered I didn't have exact change, but they gave me change for $20.  but i took the last of their change.
so maybe they'll give you change if they have it.  but now i'll bring exact change.

Get your toys now.

With all the insanity going on lately, a gun ban of some type is a certainty.

OK, so after I pick up my handgun permit from HPD, how long do I have to get my handgun from the dealer and return to HPD? According to the HPD website, I have 5 days to return to HPD AFTER I acquire the handgun. This doesn't tell me how long I have to acquire the handgun from the time I pick up the permit. Anyone know?
