According to abc the backlog is almost caught up. Lol it's amazing that they got so much done with roughy 2 weeks left. Link to follow
We should all go out this week and Buy 86,000 High points just to jam up the back log!
Maryland State Police spokesman Gregg Shipley said that five state agencies assisted police with inputting approximately 38,000 applications into the system, which will free up state police personnel to concentrate on the background check portion of the permitting process..
It depends on what your definition of "caught up" is
If there are 38,000 applications, the article says it takes about 45 min per background check, thats over 700 man-weeks. How many people are processing applications? They will be doing this well into Oct.
Caught up does not mean what they think it means.
It's a lie.
The only way they can catch up is to stop doing the 17 different agency checks, and just do the NICS. This would be 5 min per application.
No matter how many people they throw at it they cannot get it done at 45 min an application.
They also have a free week from the 23rd to the 30th, where no handguns will be sold. Dealers will be low on inventory and buyers will be low on funds.
Or the MSP has been lying all the long!
