I'm pretty sure someone at MSP is being cooked by the AG right now.
Or the AG's office is throwing the MSP under the bus.
Prolly correct on both accounts.

Freestate Said You Do NOT need An HQL After 30 Sept If You Purchased Prior!
The law says otherwise. Unlike assault long guns, the law does not provide a similar provision for handguns.
The State Police have advised people to break the law as written. They then mislead people by saying this was a widely known exception,even though there is an AAG memo saying it can't be done.
Do as you want, but the State Police do not have the legal authority to change the written law.

Not to sound obtuse but they've been doing it for quite some time, and we saw much of that yesterday. Where does the legislation say that handgun purchased before 10-1 require an HQL?
And the rifle section pertains to a ban, not an HQL.

I Just Called Them And As Long As You Have A Purchase Order You Can Pick Up AFTER 30 Sept With NO HQL. Call Them Yourself Bud.
Yes This Is For A Handgun.
Great. anyone know a dealer with a Colt Commander in .45 on the shelf?
This came from O'Malley. He is trying to cover bases but his ass is still hung out.
'nuff said.
It also does not mean that the AG can't decide to go after purchasers anyway (two separate Executive departments).
It doesn't say purchased before October 1. It says a HQL is required to transfer.
I believe that it is in 5-117.1
The rifle section pertains to being able to receive a banned rifle, if an application or purchase order was made before Oct 1. There is no similar language for handguns:

Yep. Also, what if county police pulls you over when you are bringing your new handgun back home post Oct 1st, without an HQL? Are all police agencies in the state on board with not enforcing SB281?
What is 100% clear is that we have become de facto a banana republic, which shouldn't surprise anyone as we import more and more Third World laws.
Your concern is absolutely spot on.You called who, the AG or MSP?
There are valid points on here about whether the MSP has the authority to make this change. Tomorrow I'm expecting a retraction from MSP or clarification from the AG.
The point to all this is they are scrambling like mad to reduce the damages that are sure to come their way.
