It'll be helpful if they people with negative experiences said where they were (as it seems they are).

Have done three transfers in Glen Burnie and one in Belair over the past 18 months. All were fine, but the Glen Burnie troopers were by far the best. Very personable each time and even chatted about area ranges.

Did one at the Waterloo Barracks, Jessup, and no issues. Have noted your comment, however, and will be alert if I ever go back there. Lew--Ranger63
Don't know if one of those was my negative experience at Belair, but it basically convinced me with 100% certainty that I'll not ever even try to do another transfer there anytime in the future.
Got there at 4:00 pm exactly, as that's what time seller asked me to meet him.
Little fat pudgy trooper with Napoleon syndrome and a chip on his shoulder acted like a total jerk. They had sign posted that said Firearm Transfers Tuesday through Thursday from 8 am to 4pm only....which obviously I didn't know about, especially since buyer said he did several transfers there before...
I suggested going Golden Ring to complete the transfer paperwork...
Seller declined then really offered no solution other than to wait a week or so (after his vacation) and try to meet up again...Then, although we had both a verbal agreement and a worthless Commit To Buy agreement through this site, he backed out after being called out for reposting his ad with a $50 price increase....without ever replying back to me about another meeting.
Obviously not totally the MSP Belair's fault, but I'll not waste any time going there. It did offer me a learning experience and also a great perspective of a fellow member's honesty and integrity...
I voted in the positive majority on the poll, because in at least a half dozen recent transfers at Golden Ring, I've never had any issues with the actual Trooper on duty, nor the transfer itself. Even when it was discovered I unknowingly bought and owned a stolen firearm, they were still 100% helpful and courteous. Only negative experience was Belair, but that whole deal was a combination of Trooper/Seller BS....
I did one at Waterloo ...Jessup at the end of 2013, it was a C&R CZ 82.
I had to demonstrate the chamber lock for them and tell them no HQL was required, but all went smoothly.

Throw bread on me
One at Bel Air, one at North East. Bel Air was meh. Trooper #1 at North East was an unbridled a#$hole, the Trooper who finally ended up helping me was a professional although he was clearly a touch confused about the process.
Chamber lock? Never had any trooper mention it.

It is not required unless buying from a FFL. The trooper obviously did not know the law.

Over the last couple years, I’ve completed 3 transactions at the Glen Burnie Barrack and they were all flawless, as was one I completed at the Bel Air Barrack. My last transaction was at the Golden Ring Barrack. It took about 1 1/2 hours and I had to use a trash can lid as a desk to complete the forms. Not very accommodating! I won’t use Golden Ring again.
Forgive me for asking a stupid question but what is the cost of doing the transaction at Waterloo ... I am buying a Glock 27 subcompact from a HC officer
Thanks for taking time to answer the question

$10 at all the MSP Barracks.
no cash. Troopers cannot be trusted
Transfer at Belair during the past month.
Trooper was courteous and professional. MSP's change in how to handle the paperwork was confusing.
Belair has removed the transfer hours sign and apparently transfers at any time now.

It has NOTHING to do with "trust". The procedure was written up by LAWYERS... NOT MDSP.
Thank you .. Have a great weekend!!!
Did the paperwork today at the Barracks A Waterloo in Jessup. When the paperwork was done the Sargent on duty handed the paperwork back to me and said we had to take it to Pikesville, to turn it in. I told him thought we left the paperwork at the barracks and they sent it in, he said nope we had to do it. Of course he was polite about it but still felt like we were gum under his shoe. Has anyone else had this happen to you??? So tomorrow im going to HQ to turn in the paperwork, that way US Post Office can not lose it and MSP say it never arrived as well.
