After an emergency meeting with the Public Safety team this morning we can offer the following information regarding the handgun transfer freeze that took effect at 12:01 AM EST this morning.
Any handguns transferred before 12:01 AM EST this morning (10-21-2022) will be processed as usual with proof of purchase before the 12:01 AM cutoff.
Any transfers started AFTER will be reviewed to see if the individual (buyer) is exempt. The individual will be contacted upon review by the CFO for proof that they meet the requirements for exemption.
Handguns “pre-purchased” by individuals while the RPAL was being processed, will not be processed or “grandfathered in”.
RPAL licenses processed after the freeze will not be refunded if.
We are waiting to hear if RPAL licenses still in limbo will be eligible for cancellation/refund.
