Who Doesn't Have Their HQL

[NavyATFP]

Went back and fourth over the issue of the HQL being an infringement(still think it is) and then comparing it to a concealed carry permit being an infringement(still think that is also) but it seems that while many here refuse to get the HQL they want the CCW permit here while living in MD. Decided as I had no 1911 in my collection and i didn't want to go find the 4000$ Korean War/WWII era Colt I would have to give in to the state.

As others have pointed out, Between time with the military and with government work my fingerprints are on file somewhere. Id assume they they can find out what I purchase with my credit cards quite easy(sure I could go carry around lots of cash to semi hide my sport shooting/hunting/home defense items by why should I have to do that?).

If your willing to obtain a permit(in this state or any other) to carry concealed why not get the HQL, its an infringement and a pain but the choice is have it and get to purchase or don't have it and buy 50+ year old handguns only.

Same reasons I didn't have the HQL is the reasons I chose also not to own suppressors, Ive finally given in and am now at Day 20(less if you count working days) waiting on final approval for my HQL. That Springfield 1911 will soon be mine.

I am just curious about people who say their check is taking longer than usual... Without revealing details, have they lived in many other states (I could see a few factors slowing down mental health records checks), or have a security clearance?

What is longer than usual? Mine started around 20 days(7 day weeks not working days) ago. Is that longer than usual? I haven't been paying much attention as I don't know anyone that has done it recently. The mental health checks and all the state specific stuff was done on the 25th to the 29th. My checks are showing incomplete on the NICS and the other two federal databases.

I don't need one with my retired military ID.....

 

[Pushrod]

Do not, will not. WV was my home and will be again. Shame, Maryland is such a beautiful state.

I won't hold it against you. A personal choice each of us has to make for themselves.

The pain and sense of disgust will subside, but it'll never go away. Your next handgun purchase will be good therapy.

yeah I'm hoping my first Glock, a G19 will help with the healing process. I been really drooling over the Walther PPQ too.

I knew not scooping these before 10/1 would haunt me later, I just couldn't make it happen in time because of the 60 day cool down, prior to me getting DC status.

 

[outrider58]

I don't!!just out of curiousity do you?

Not I

Well a certain somebody just turned 21 the other day. So guess who has to get an HQL (training class as well) to get himself a shiny new CZ clone.

This guy! That's who. I shall spend my time waiting for a class I can attend preparing certain body parts for the financial rape I'm about to endure

happy belated birthday man damn shame you must go through all that just for a pistol too bad you didn't turn 21 last year around this time

At least this way he gets to see early on how much Maryland sucks.

 

[sar82007]

I have no plans to acquire an HQL

I already purchased most things that I could not live without. There are other wants but they will just wait until I get out of MD. MDSP and other MD revenue generating agents will not get my hard earned money. The HQL process is just another one of those attempts to steal our money.

Tbh I kinda always knew. Several years ago when I was a wee little boy scout just getting out of cub scouts we went to visit our local representatives. Lest to say Steiny Hoyer said "Christ's sake, again? I don't have time for this shit" when we tried to talk to him........

But I digress. Yes this state sucks but being in college means I don't have much of an opportunity to escape as of yet so I gotta roll with the punches.

 

[Schipperke]

Just finished application after getting finger printed. What a racket.

Got the card today, took a week total.

"This is not a carry permit"

That's because liberals are such nice people.

I had wanted a S&W model 41 for a while, but didn't have the $$$ last year for one. I found one for a good price had the $$$, but now I need a hql...shit... am I going to let marty and his crew tell me what i can do or am I going to bite the bullet, say f#ck him and do what those people don't want me too and buy another gun.

I have my hql and a really sweet shooting 41 and am saving up for a S&W 686 or a Blackhawk in .357 I'm not sure which one yet but it will be another nose thumbing at the gun haters.

We are going to look at a house in Martinsburg WVA tomorrow so the hql could be a moot point soon anyway.

 

[Coffee]

No HQL. I got one pistol before 10/1, and without the ability to carry I don't see the need or have the desire for another.

Been collecting plenty of long guns post 10/1

 

[dspurlock]

HQL is just the first step on a long road of hurdles/restrictions and rising fees that await Marylanders who have an HQL. Just look at the states that have similar licenses. It's only going to get worse.

 

[JVP409]

Getting finger prints next week. No current needs for another handgun but want to have the option. I'm not going to be one of those that cut off my nose to spite my face, but to each his own.

 

[Vile Shadow]

I swallowed my own bitter pill yesterday, got fingerprinted and did the application. I want that VR barrel .357 mag revolver.

On a good note, I also did my prints for my FL CCP yesterday.
