    When I was going through the process I came to this thread, and I figured it hasn't had anyone come in since the new year and in about a month so. I figure I would contribute.

    Applied 1/2
    Approved 1/10
    Arrived -- 1/16

    I had a big update on 1/7 where everything but 5 categories went complete. IIRC it was Livescan, NICS, CJIS, Secondary Check (don't remember the 5th but it wasn't the common DMDH)
    On 1/9, anything update where livescan and NICS was the last remaining to need completion. Then, I got a call regarding my livescan. I called the vendor they retransmitted and told me to contact CJIS. I contacted CJIS, the vendor provided them the wrong number for my fingerprints, CJIS provided me the correct number, I left a message to my MSP officer working my request with the correct one, and in the morning it was active on 1/10.

    Could have been worse. I feel like it would have completed 1/7 if the livescan went through correctly.

    Buddy of mine applied on 2/20 after receiving expungement order. Today is 3/19 and 4 items left undone on the checklist. Is MSP under any obligation to complete within a certain time frame?

    I finally broke down and applied for HQL:banghead:

    At least I was exempt from the training since I kept the Beretta 92FSS bought back in 92.
    Did fingerprints at Worth a Shot and applied 4/12 - approved on 4/23 :deal: now what to buy?

    Was thinking something small for CCW, but that'd be a waist here in MD!

    Short list is Sig 226 Legion, Beretta 92X, or Rock Island Tac Ultra Double stack 1911:confused:
