Not stupid - just hard to keep the idiocy straight
An HQL is an invention embedded in the FSA2013 which gives you permission to purchase a pistol (must be on the roster) after 01 Oct 13. The HQL requires you to be fingerprinted, pay a fee and go thru the infamous, super extra thorough MSP background check.
In spite of having an HQL, you must pass a background check and wait 8 days every time you want to purchase a pistol and after 10 years (I believe) you must pay a renewal fee.
A 'permit' is a license to carry concealed. There was a short time span between Judge Legg issuing the decision which invalidated the good and substantial standard the MSP uses to grant the license and the appellate court issuing a stay while the appeal was processed. Ultimately Judge Legg's decision was overturned.
There were 300 or so folks who applied for their permit in that time window who are now getting their denial letters.

My wife and I haven't yet applied for our permits.
Is it worth it now?
PJD....If you aren't a business owner, no, it's not worth it.
You'd get more fulfillment from handing me $250 bucks, letting me kick you square in the nuts and then walking away in shame.

I just gotta ask. Is there a line for that treatment?
Trust me, the HPRB hearing is just a sham effort anyway (BTDT as one of the pre-stay applicants). The pessimist in me speculates that the HPRB received direction/suggestion from someone to just shitcan the rest to stop the tide of people complaining that they were not meeting the 90 calendar day time limit stipulated in statute (my hearing was somewhere in the neighborhood of a year after my informal review and subsequent request for a hearing, and only got escalated after involving a delegate).
So I was one of the people that got in after the ruling and was obviously initially disapproved. I formally requested the appeal. That was months ago!!
Today I get this letter....
