HQL renewal

[RRomig]

Didn’t see this posted yet so apologies if it’s a dupe.
The HQL will in fact stay in place. Nothing but a submittal and $20 , no training etc.
They are asking for a minimum of 14 days before your current one expires. No penalties other than you cannot purchase a regulated firearm during the void.

Thanks for the info. Mine is expiring early October.

Why would anyone think the state would give up on a cash cow. Hmmm I wonder if HQL renewal for WCP will be free?

Hmmm. That’s a good question. I bet if you let it expire, it will work. The question will be if you don’t let it expire will it renew for free?

Nothing would surprise me but since you have to add it to every 77r rather it being saved like all your other info and the fact that the issuing year is part of the number I’d think they’d catch it.

They aren't even saddled with the expense of producing a physical card anymore... so pray tell what is the $20 for?

Inconveniencing electrons.

I doubt there’s any problem with the date thing

You pay them $20 to fvck you. God I hate MD.

Thanks for posting the information. Mine expires in 2026 and I'm eligible to retire in 2027 and, more importantly, able to leave MD. I've been thinking of a firearm purchase as a self-retirement gift... I might have to do it a year early as I don't really want to give this state twenty more dollars.

That's the insult to the injury.

The $20 fee is just a poll tax for 2A. They know and it's intentional.

That fee has been set since 2013.

October of this year is when the first batch is up for renewal. I am debating on if I should or not?

 

[gtkim67]

Did they even say how long the renewal was good for?

Yes, but in 2013 they provided a photo card that presumably had some production cost associatedwith it... now it is all electrons.

10 years
