I hope NRA's taking notes. Such antics cannot be permitted to stand.
Unfortunately there are a lot of individuals like myself who made purchases early May before 8-day release became the norm. While I expect to be able to pick up my guns September 4-13th, individuals who hit 2nd review on a May 10th or later purchase may be SOL. And if MSP slows down even more, I may be borderline SOL myself.
I'd love for this to be the impetus for any dealers still not releasing on time to get their stock cleared.

That was going to be my comment.
I would bet some fence sitters are going to start to blow stuff out the door.
Liberal idiots, that opinion is just going to get more guns out even faster in my opinion, and that is a good thing.

I hate to say "I told you so" but...........
If there is any good to be seen in this, at least it's possible that this additional outrageous denial of accessibility to a constitutional right might be enough to tip the balance in favor of an injunction.
I think if an injunction was granted it would be so short lived to be almost meaningless.
It is the written statement of a member of the AG's office to a sitting member of the GA, that qualifies it as an official opinion of the AG's office.
I don't think so. I actually think we have a very good chance for an injunction lasting several months. I don't think we have much hope of getting the law overturned in the courts in the long run, but an injunction for three to six months should be do-able. But that's just my opinion.
The NRA (or any organization for that matter) isn't going to be able to do squat about these laws for a looong loooong loooooong time; if ever.

I was curious about that as well, but since I deal with FFL's which release on time I am no longer worried about it. I sent an email to MSP regarding necessity of the HQL for applications dating pre-October 1st. This is obviously not a definitive answer so take it with a grain of salt.
If I start the transfer process on a handgun (The paperwork is filed on August 01 of 2013 for example) and I am not able to take possession until November due to the backlog, will I be required to have a new handgun 'license' before taking the item home, or am I good to go without?
It's my understanding that you will be good.
The HQL will be hard to defeat; but if the HQL is used as a way to impose a total ban on handgun ownership, it should be easy to at least stay.
