Agree
That's why after I get my card I'm going to exercise my right to the fullest.
I have 1911 fever right now. and I need that stupid card to cure it.

Applied 1/10 , Active 1/28 .... now I'm waiting for the card.

If you find yourself trying to understand the logic of Maryland gun laws, all you have to do is remember this: the purpose of the law is to discourage to the greatest possible degree all private gun ownership in Maryland. Confusion, ambiguity, expense, and delay are all tools to accomplish that goal.

This is sooooo true

This exactly is why I don't understand the folks that refuse to get an HQL. Sure, it's an unconstitutional scheme to abrogate our rights, but if you refuse, you're helping them succeed at stripping away your rights.

Quoted for truth...

Be careful.
It may be a trap!

Also...just got off the phone with "Diane" from MSP, who had called me earlier due to a minor mistake in the application on my part... :sad20:

Just an FYI...

She said that the HQL's are printed out either on Tuesday or Thursday, and then (a day later) mailed out on Wednesday or Friday...(obviously depending on what day it was printed).

She missed today's printing for mine, so it'll be printed next Tuesday and mailed next Wednesday, according to her.

Mine went Active on Tuesday, so mine should be mailed out tomorrow and here on Saturday! Fingers crossed! Now I'm just waiting on my Designated Collector.

Applied 1/14, active 1/21, card in hand 1/29. Man, I took a bad MVA photo.

DYI01 · Jan 29, 2015

Applied 1/12, went active 1/20, HQL in hand 1/29. Time to go scratch that itch.

All I can say is "good luck". Mine was dated on 1/15 but not postmarked until 1/23. Oh, and then there is that damn 7 day wait.... Getting pi$$ed off all over again!

I thought I read on here somewhere that the "collector" status could take up to 60 days? Have you or anyone else seen/heard that?

swinokur · Jan 30, 2015

It's usually less than 60 days.

jti424 · Jan 30, 2015

I applied 1/23 and went active 1/29... Waiting for card now

Applied 1/12 went active today 1/30. So Glad it didn't take longer. This was driving me crazy. It's so aggravating that Maryland requires me to do this So I can exercise My RIGHT. I need to be more active about helping defend The 2nd Amendment.

Going 1911 shopping tomorrow.
Don't even get me started about 7 day waiting.

side note MSP was pleasant and informative to talk with.

Sadly, I did not get my HQL in the mail today. I did get my Designated Collector letter though! I mailed in on 1/19. Got today 1/31. 12 days. That was unexpected.

Soda · Jan 31, 2015

Also, that brings up a question. Now that I am a Designated Collector, do I have to show the letter to the FFL during the process of purchasing multiple regulated firearms or is that not needed?

No, I don't think so, but I'd keep it handy, if you are dealing with a FFL that is not familiar with you. I've had one for years and have never been asked to produce it.
