HQL Process update

[swinokur]

Good theory on the speediness for training exempt people. I'm also lucky because I don't have a common name. For once it pays off having a name that most people can't pronounce right.

I dunno. Cap6888 seems easy enough to pronounce.

I'm trying to get the website to operate properly, once I get to attachments, I uploaded an image, now I cant delete or view the image or if Ihit the next button all the site tells me "we have encountered an error" I tried IE9,safari,chrome,firefox etc.

any ideas?

I am training exempt as well, still waiting. Going to give them a call tomorrow and see what's up!

 

[85MikeTPI]

Yes it's annoying. I've been wishing weekends go by quick so the workdays can follow and someone can approve my application! Sad but true..

Fingerprints and app submitted on 8/7 evening and my 8/8 morning I was active with HQL#, training exempt... any idea when to expect the card??

 

[swinokur]

10-14 days seems normal.

I submitted prints and app on 8/7 and only showed complete on 8/8 ( also training exempt). Still no HQL#. I guess like any government organization, they are consistently inconsistent.

Other question......can you buy a handgun with just your HQL # or do u need the physical license in hand?

 

[swinokur]

MSP told the FFL's you must have the card in your possession. same applies tosecondary sales at an MSP barracks.

No card, no gun.

Applied as training exempt on 7/29, Active on 8/11.

About damn time!

Do you have a common name? There doesn't appear to be much rhyme or reason why some take 1-2 days and others weeks. I'm into my 3rd weeks wait with the training required and a common ass name..

Mine took a total of 9 days , printed and applied August 1st , received my HQL card Aug 9th.

I would call/email them and see whats going on.

Some FFLs will or would allow you to start the paperwork with just the number, but you would have to have your card i nhand to pick up.

Not sure if any are doing this now.

Funny thing I did paperwork when I went active online & when I picked up was never asked for card.

I took my HQL on Sunday August 3rd, ran down to the Laurel Police Station and got my LiveScan including a hardcopy for Florida Carry during lunch Monday. I filed for my HQL Monday afternoon. My approval was done by Wednesday morning and my card arrived Friday in the mail. It took 4 days from the time I filed to the time I received the card in the mail.

Well you were lucky. IIRC MSP told FFl's not to release a firearm without the buyer showing actual card.

Another Friday COB and application still sits in the pending state.

I'm at 21days since application acceptance and 15 working days.

Has anyone had to endure the full 30-day limit? I repeat, this sux...

 

[AJRB]

I submitted yesterday and as of today the only 3 still showing incomplete are NICS, CJIS, and JIS.
I wonder if they process these apps on Saturdays?

Those are the same 3 that have been incomplete on mine for over 3 weeks now.

The web site is open over the weekend for submissions, but no processing is done.

Which is odd as I have never even had a hold on long gun purchases. Always walk right out in minutes.
Like others have said no rhyme or reason just a process like any other run by the state I'm thinking.
I'm cool with them taking the time they are supposed to have , if its not done in a week oh well, I'm sure they will get it done in time.

 

[cap6888]

Yeah, I'm showing everything completed, even got the letter saying I'm not a criminal, but still pending on the final license.
