When does 30 day start??

Butchb · Apr 22, 2019

Hello, Bought a handgun on 4/5/19 in Maryland. Waited 7 days to pickup handgun on 4/12/19. My question is when does the 30 days before next purchase start 4/5 or4/12? I am already shopping!! Thanks, Butch

Sorry

Thanks people. Just typed in a good search and found answer. 30 days after I pickup new gun.

It is 30 days from the day of approval which in your case would be the 12th. So May 12/13. You can do 2 handguns at the same time but there's a 60-day wait between purchases. If you want to purchase more frequently or take advantage of sales that you stumble across without worrying about when you made your last purchase you should send in the paperwork to become a designated collector which will allow you to buy as many as frequently as you want. The 7-day wait still applies.

I couldn’t imagine not getting a collectors, I think the hardest part if I recall was getting it notarized. I usually let a few accumulate at a time at my dealer and then pay 1 MSP fee and one dealer transfer fee.

Just put in that paperwork myself, will update with what turn around time looks like.

It took a little over 3 weeks to get mine.

You can initiate you next purchase 23 days after your last pickup date. MSP will not reject it and puckup can be as early as 30 days after the last pickup. With the advent of the new online 77R and its letting you know when a firearm may be released, I can't see why you couldn't initiate a new purchase sooner since MSP spells out a transfer date in the response to the FFL. But I also don't know first hand if MSP will let that fly.. I do know they won't reject an application 23 days after the last pickup.

Mine took 1 week.

Collector's letter is definitely worth getting. Your wallet may not agree, though.

Butchb · May 6, 2019

Thanks people! Sent in application and waiting to hear back. The S&W 12465 just came up on MSP site. I'll either get response or my 30 days will be up in a week.

This is brilliant. Why didn't I think of that? Oh, 'cause I'm not brilliant.

Went out to mailbox and after 5 days I got my letter. Good to go! Now if the dealer had just ordered the gun like I asked I'd have it in 7 days. Oh well

Combloc · May 6, 2019

I'd think the collectors letter is a requirement in this hobby!

ITSecurity Nerd · May 6, 2019

I got my collectors letter, but might have lost it. How would I get another copy. I have never been asked to produce said letter but I know that one day I will. Any thoughts.

Combloc · May 6, 2019

You shouldn't need it as the "collector" field self populates on the electronic application once they've mailed out the letter.

sxs · May 7, 2019

If you want another copy, call MSP Licensing, ask for firearms registration section, request another be sent out. Mine got damaged when a pipe sprung a leak in proximity to my file cabinet. I had a fresh new copy in a few days.

There is no need to produce it. You check the box on the electronic 77r, and you are good to go.

MSP knows whether or not a letter has been issued to you.

And while you are absolutely correct, some dealers are reportedly asking to see it and I had a State Trooper in Glen Burnie tell me it was needed. In the case of the Trooper , I convinced him to process the 77R and let Licensing sort it out. It probably didn't hurt that the trooper in question has seen me there a fair number of times. Not sure why he asked ti see the letter that time. Never did it before.

Pinecone · May 8, 2019

If a dealer wants to see my letter, I will go to another dealer.

Simple.

If an MSP trooper did so, I would ask them to call the Licensing Bureau and let them tell him it is not needed.
