My GUESS is that when they email you the PTA you will then need to use your personal password to access the document and print it out.  If you send in an online registration HPD will email you a password (one that they've created) to access the document.

Thank you.

When you apply for the PTA at HPD, they have you complete a form that you need to choose a username and password.  They have you take a picture of this paper because you do not get it back.

Then they will email you the PTA that you can print out.

Thank you.
I wasn’t asked for a user name but maybe it’s my email or actual name? I’m probably making this process harder then it actually is. 😂

The username is your email. They also ask you security questions on the same form.

Right on!
Thanks again.

When I did my online handgun registration last month - when the registration was ready they first emailed me a password,  then in a second email they sent the actual registration as a password protected .pdf

What about your permit to acquire?
Did you have to fill out a form at hpd to receive it online? If so, did it ask you for a password?

When the 14 day waiting period for the PTA came up, I went back to pick it up rather than chance more delay. Then went straight to the FFL for more paperwork and finally take possession of my new handgun. Registered it online the next morning as described previously.

Did online registration for pistols recently.  Submitted info online on 27 Aug and received email confirmation with permit number as reference.  Just got permits for 2 of the 3 just now.  So 4 business days.  Waiting on the 3rd.  Will see if it comes in the next couple of business days, and will email with permit number reference if I don't see anything.

Overall, liking the options we have for online, no firearm needed, etc thanks to HIFICO et al for work, advocacy, etc.

Yeah.  However, I got those three and the EPS Carry a could still get a case of 9 mm for a Colt M45A1 1911.

Nah, but seriously, gotta go with what's best for you, which I think you do.  I also appreciate the need to "scratch the itch" and get what's on your mind.  I was like that, but for different guns or other things.  Sometimes you just have to try or know for yourself.  A while back, I had it in my mind I had to try an LMT monolithic railed AR.  Special ordered via OGC and spent quite a bit.  Tried it for a while, including in more than a few classes.  Ended up going in a different direction for AR setups, but had to know.

This is 1 area that I'm not tweeking. My AR is set up how I like it and works for me.  Well that is until cooler stuff is invented that I will feel the need to add onto the rifle.

Glad to know you're not a tweeker. . .

Reg for #3 came in a couple of hours later. 

These new options may (or will likely) end up with me buying more pistols.

Plus selling other pistols to friends who are now getting back into shooting. Win-win!
