Based on the Fox Baltimore news story someone cited here, there have been more than 57000 applications submitted so far this year, and around 26000 have been processed. At that rate, the applications that are already in the system won't be completed until at least the beginning of 2014. So, it's too late to buy all that you can now. Any new applications submitted from now on won't even be looked at until long after October 1st---in my personal opinion.

I'm not sure what figures the MSP is actually giving us. They say almost 60,000 apps to date, so I assume that's since January 1. They also say the backlog is around 28,000, so that's 32,000 apps that have been processed. The question is have they processed 32,000 apps this year, or have they processed 32,000 apps since January 17th, which is the date they started processing the January applications?
According to a WBAL article from March, they apparently cleared 14,000 apps in January and 11,000 in February, but I'm assuming half of those January apps were actually from December, meaning there were about 18,000 January apps processed by March 1, and the remainder of the January apps were completed March 1-12.
When you look at the figures, it took them 1.7 days to initially review a day of applications for January (Jan 17th - March 12th), and about 1.5 days to initially review the February apps (March 13th - April 23rd). We're sitting at about 1.8 days to initially review each day of March applications (April 24th - June 19th).

I know this isn't as accurate since unregulated are included, but the number of NICS checks in MD have been discreasing since march
Right, and I'd assume most of the drop in the numbers is a result of the non-regulated purchases since the MSP has been maxed out all year. But it's hard to use the NICS check numbers for at least two other reasons:
#1) The March numbers include MSP checks run in March, so you're looking at NICS checks for some January and some February purchases.
#2) Maryland's situation is unique given the legislation that passed. While the panic abruptly ended nationally after the Senate shut down the national bill, I have no idea what effect that had locally. We'd need stats from local FFLs on volume over that time.

That is correct but then you have to wait sixty days to purchase again.

90 days for me today.
All I can say guys. Look at which dealers are not releasing on day 8 .
And AVOID THEM LIKE THE PLAGUE!
I certainly will be with my next few purchases.
Sorry A&D . After I pick up my pistol. I plan on never using them again after this mess. They did not even seriously look into possibly releasing on time.

Can you believe I heard a LGS yesterday tell a new buyer that the wait was running around 60 days??
I said man I wish it was just 60 days. He didn't like that.

I got an email from MDSP today.
"Good morning, we received your application on March 30th which we are currently processing but haven't completed. We should complete March 30th applications by Friday June 21st. Thanks for your patience."
March 30th was a Saturday, and IIRC, the day before was when SB281 passed in the Senate. A bunch of people must have had the same idea that I did.

Freestate told me 6 weeks (42days) back in April. Today I hit day 80.
