I bought 1/18 so today is day 32 for me. LGS told me on Saturday 2/15 they were receiving paperwork submitted to MSP on 1/15. Okay, they are seeing a 30 day turnaround. I have stayed out of MSP's hair so they can crank out paperwork, rather than spend their manpower responding to impatient buyers. For now I'm keeping my powder dry. If LGS starts getting paperwork back for people who bought several days after me, then I'll work with them on determining next steps.

1/18 purchase was likely submitted on 1/21. Same boat as me and mine came back today. You should get a call any minute now.

My 1/19 came back over a week and a half ago, however my 1/21 seems to be right on schedule.

Hang in there fellas, your number will turn up eventually.
I got my call early this morning for paper work done on 1-17 at Atlantic Guns in Silver Spring for a P07 Duty.

With that I hope the rest you will have shorter waits.

1/18 here. Waiting patiently but the anticipation is killing me. I feel like a 9 year old on Xmas eve.

I'm starting to wonder what exactly are the check procedures that the MSP performs above and beyond the Federal NICS check. I assume they:

• Check the MD State Court records for felony convictions
• Check to make sure you haven't taken possession of a regulated weapon in the past 30 days
• Keep track of and grant "Collector" status letters
• Possibly verify the validity of the "crazy" questions and supplemental docs we sign
• Run a NICS check

I would love to see some investigative reporting on the "value added" the current system buys the residents of this state as opposed to simply running a NICS check.

I just wonder at what point the regulatory delays would be ruled excessive and an obstruction to exercising a Right.

Waiting from 1/18 for first handgun. Last Friday I asked my dealer what he has been getting back and he seems to be 4 or 5 days behind what others are reporting here.

I recommend you call or email MSP first, then call your dealer. MSP emailed me yesterday and said my paperwork was in. I called my dealer to confirm and they swore that nothing was in past 1/15. I convinced him to go look and he was amazed to find a stack of papers on the fax machine which had come back in the past few days.
