Waiting on my 77r for a month now

[RoadRunner0311]

So I have my MD Wear and Carry permit.

A month ago, I went on the MSP website and filled out the form 77r.

I havn't received an email since saying I've been approved. I checked the site today, and it says I've been "submitted to the applicant pool."

I called and talked to a guy at the counter of a LGS and he said to check my spam folder, but nothing is there.

I havn't selected the pistol I want to buy yet, and have been waiting on my application to come back approved before I do so.

What should I be doing? Why is it taking so long?

you wont get not denied until you buy the gun and the LGS summits the paper work in.

I never received a pin number.. The LGS said I need a pin to get the ball rolling.

Fill out the 77R, sign, and MSP will e-mail you a PIN. You then go to your FFL and they need that PIN to start the transaction/7 day wait. Once that's completed you will get your "Not Disapproved" e-mail and you can then go back for pickup.

Is it possible you didn't submit it properly? If it were me, I'd just start a new 77R and use that for the transaction.

 

[BigRick]

Ok as I understand it. You filled out the app got a pin but have yet to buy the firearm? If that is the case they won’t process the app until you buy the firearm and your LGS submits the information than your 7 days start

 

[RoadRunner0311]

Yeah, I never received a pin. I'm pretty sure I filled it out properly.

You can log in and have them re-send the email with the initial PIN from the portal, IIRC.

As noted above, your 77r will not be reviewed or "not disapproved" by MSP until after you actually make a purchase. The 77r isn't actually submitted for review until the dealer enters their portion of the 77r and you pay your $10.

You mention having your W&C permit above. I assume that you also have your HQL as well, which would be needed to purchase a regulated firearm.

You can click a button next to your 77r to resend the email. I can’t remember exactly what it says and I can’t logon right now.

Any 77r I’ve filled out initially, the email with the app number and pin came within minutes at most.

ETA: missed it by that much…

 

[RoadRunner0311]

Wow. I just did this and received my pin email... I've been waiting a month to get this.

So now what? I just go to the gun store to have the shop owners complete the paperwork?

Pretty much. And next time, go to a different gun store, because they should have told you what we did.

Sweet. It was asked above but I didn’t see an answer. You have your HQL or exemption correct?

Now you go to the FFL, pick out your handgun, give them the app number and pin for the 77r when they ask for it.

You will also need to fill out the federal form 4473. Some shops do it electronically (they have a laptop you use) while others still use a paper form.

ETA: I assume you couldn’t have completed your part of the 77r if you didn’t have an HQL number to enter.

ETA2: you will be charged a $10 MSP fee. That is normal.

Do you have your HQL as well?

A MD Wear and Carry Permit does not allow you to purchase a handgun.

He got a PIN from MSP on a 77r. That means he has an HQL.

I saw that after I posted.

Fill out three or four more 77R's. You'll need them one day.

One warning on that, if you renew or replace your MD driver's license before you use up those apps, that number will be changing if it doesn't already start with "MD..." Your DL number is part of the application, so if you forget you have a new DL you'll probably at the very least be causing your application to be delayed.

I just fill out an app on my phone when I remember about the time I get in my car to go to the store. Or in the parking lot at the store.

And after you own one or two, apply for your Designated Collector status

 

[Cool_Moo5e]

just fill out another 77R it's not like credit it does not effect your approval, you can make a few, put the PIN on paper, put the paper in your wallet, and just give the FFL your pin then go through the process if I recall they are good for a year.

I have one for a handgun and one for a rifle in my wallet every time I go to the FFL.
