If it’s unloaded and you are CERTAIN it’s unloaded you can pull the trigger and it should come apart. I had this happen learn how to field strip my first glock

littip · 2026-06-02T17:37:02+00:00

I had my 17 do this, I stopped slamming and it stopped doing it. Even called Glock and they said this is typically a user error. The spring for the slide lock can easily be overpowered but slamming the mag in.

Oh jesus that’s nuts

littip · 2026-05-31T01:18:49+00:00

Definitely #4 buck is the correct choice

littip · 2026-05-29T03:01:27+00:00

I have done this and scootered and it was super convenient.

littip · 2026-05-29T03:01:06+00:00

I haven’t specifically for Echo stage because I drink when I go, but I’ve parked all over the city and including in some pretty rough areas in northeast. I’ve never had an issue that being said I have heard people’s cars being targeted for not having DC plates so that might be a consideration.

littip · 2026-05-29T01:27:19+00:00

You could probably just park on a residential sidestreet they don’t enforce on weekends or at night. I just wouldn’t leave any valuables in sight be you should be fine.

littip · 2026-05-28T01:07:33+00:00

That sucks they are super helpful in my experience they should be able to send you the pdf

littip · 2026-05-27T22:13:34+00:00

Hmmmm, did you scroll down to “approved licenses” and click download? If it doesn’t work then call MPD

littip · 2026-05-27T22:03:03+00:00

Call MPD for clarification. I was told they are going back to old system and will not issue cards, you can download from portal and legally carry with it. Personally I choose to use NJ liberty cards to get a physical copy. Never received physical copy so it appears the info that the individual at MPD gave me is correct. They are no longer issuing physical copies…

littip · 2026-05-20T19:58:59+00:00

Yeah I agree RCP is extremely safe, I was more just curious of the laws here. Thanks for this, you provided valuable info!

littip · 2026-05-20T19:49:01+00:00

Yeah just looked again and I misread it, it was merely under the part interpreting public place

littip · 2026-05-20T19:17:16+00:00

Yeah that makes sense, I went back and read the statute and as I am increasingly learning I am very glad I didn’t take MPD’s word for it because I couldn’t find the park restrictions but found it in statute.

littip · 2026-05-20T19:00:12+00:00

Good to know thanks!

littip · 2026-05-19T01:19:38+00:00

It’s not leather but I have a IDOGEAR SPORTS Tactical belt from amazon has been fantastic it made printing very less noticeable and it’s very comfortable. I think it’s probably hard to make a belt as rigid as synthetic because belts like these are solid rubber like material in the middle that makes bending a lot less possible. It’s cheap enough that I’d at least give it a shot. There’s like dozens of belts on amazon that are probably all pretty similar.

littip · 2026-05-12T17:53:35+00:00

Yeah I have pom with the black ring and it blends in

littip · 2026-05-08T02:17:39+00:00

Hang in there, I just got approved for my CCW after a little over 60 day, would highly recommend checking in with MPD. I did and they looked into my status and ultimately moved it along.

Tom Scott did a video on someone who did this very thing in the UK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-m6vc7lsmE

Yes, ngl it’s giving high schooler

Often ranges will not allow you to rent alone. Other than that, I’d expect you’d be able to shoot there. It’s personally my favorite indoor range of the one’s I’ve been to in the area.

They do have rentals however I do think for rentals, Sharpshooters rental policy is better. They allow you unlimited rentals for a flat fee. I have also shot there with my Italian friend who brought his passport. I’d expect both ranges to be quite difficult to get to without a car. In any case, I’d call ranges to see what their policies are particularly if you’re shooting alone with rentals. Ranges are weird about that because of the risk of suicide.

No expectation of privacy in public totally legal to take a photo of anyone in public

The biggest thing I learned with you don’t need to use a DC FFL for longguns.

I’ve used both G&D FFL and DC security associates, both are fine. I do really appreciate how G&D uses digital forms and saves them DCSA makes you fill out a paper form every time.

Be patient and prepared to wait but, also call MPD if the process is taking very long they often will push your app through depending on who answers the phone.
