I filed for renewal of my LTC approximately 7 weeks ago, and did so before my license expired. The officer who processed my application told me that my license would continue to be valid because I (and he) submitted the renewal paperwork before my old LTC expired. He gave me a copy of the paperwork he filed, along with a receipt and my future license number. He said that the new PIN would arrive with the new license. But meanwhile, my old license and PIN would still be valid for the time being.
So now I'm in LTC renewal limbo, waiting for the new license to arrive, while my old license has an expired date on it.
I was able to buy a new handgun a couple of weeks ago from one dealer, even though I'm in this limbo period, and he told me that they do this all the time. He entered my old license and PIN, then had to do some kind of manual override, and was then able to process the sale, no problem.
Then last week, at a different dealer, I tried to buy ammo that they had on sale, and was told they can't sell me ammo because my license had expired. They wouldn't even listen to my explanation of the circumstances or check out any of the renewal paperwork that I had brought with me.
So what's the real scoop with regard to purchases? I'm guessing that it's mostly up to the discretion of the particular dealer, and whether they know the specifics of the renewal process and legalities?
Oh, and what about selling? I've got a few handguns that I'd like to try and sell. Should I wait until my new LTC goes through, or am I ok to sell these during this waiting period?
Thanks in advance.
