    My HQL took about 30 days but that was before the SCOTUS decision rush/logjam.

    It took MUCH longer for the VA to get me my DD214. :rolleyes:

    It's supposed to be 30 days. Anyone know what the process is if on day 31 you're still not approved?

    I agree however, if you look at some of the posts within this tread, HQL was taking roughly 23-25 days +/- up until applications submitted 7/25. I'm sure that time frame will increase as more MDers submit paperwork. Just good to get a guage as we all progress though the process.

    Oh wow. How naive of me to think it would’ve been faster than the W&C.
    I wss under the impression that the CCW would be a longer process as well and makes since. I applied for that on 08/04 (and still waiting). Everyone that I have spoken with has stated the HQL runs about 30 days. It''s a wait an see for me....

    When you log in there is a yellow hyperlink above firearms services that says view check list. Click on it and will show you everything that is checked for the HQL.

    Yes, I am aware (just had not talked to my nephew). All areas went to complete or not applicable.
