Someone this morning told me that in the 90's, in the state of Maryland, there was a 7 day wait for ARs and the like.
I don't remember this at all.

This guy said that at some point in the 90's that you had to wait 7 days to pick up your AR.
Yes,
All regulated firearms transfers prior to 2013, required the 7 day wait.
HBARS were not regulated, because they were exempted.

Depending on the Dealer.If you bought just before the ban, waits were over a month.

Until MDSP settled a lawsuit and allowed dealers to release after 7 days. Paperwork for regulated firearms was taking months. Can't recall when they settled, sometime around July 2013 I think, but after that (and before Oct 1) you could pick up regulated firearms after 7 days, even if paperwork was not complete. I think the dealer had to run the NICS check first though. I know I picked up after 7 days sometime in Sept.
I am sure that there is a thread here on that somewhere to dig up.
But generally, yes, until Oct 1 2013, "regulated" guns i.e. ARs AKs, etc were 7 day wait and 77r.
MSP Problem.Two different FFL's I used then would transfer when MSP answered, not before.
I didn't like waiting, but didn't hold it against the FFL's. If an FFL released after the 7th day w/o notice from MSP, and then it came back not approved, what happens?
AR15 is now an assault rifle?
Only if you put quote marks around it.
MSP Problem.
I actually know a person that this happened to. FFL called him and asked him to bring the firearm back. Had he not the FFL would have notified the SP. I don't think the checks and balances works real well if the the dealer makes an error. How would the MSP know?

How does one undo a transfer? If it is MSP's problem, why did the FFL even care?
