    When I checked yesterday no, but it was early when I checked. I would expect you to see something Thursday in my opinion.
    I hope so. It's really annoying knowing soon as it hits imma go the gun shop and fill out a 77R and then wait 7 more days for the exact same check I've been waiting 20 days for. If you have to jump through the hoops for a HQL then it should be cash and carry. I can't imagine 1 crime has ever been prevented by having someone waiting 7 days for a gun.

    I get it however, it's the process unfortunately. It could be the opposite and be denied. I'm always a glass half full guy. Once it's hear for u, it won't matter as much. Trust the Process.. Your time should be Thursday/Friday.

    Thanks. I usually am too but it's nice to vent ya know. It's really my own fault. I refused to get it figuring I'd move outta MD before wantingto buy another gun. Never thought I'd see MD shall issue. Just another decision of mine that came back to bite me in the a$$. Lol

    Yup. Just a letter.
    Take a photo, save it to your phone, put the number in your smartphone notes.
    Excellent advice. I put everything in my phones notes. It's secure and automatically backs to the cloud so if something happens to my phone it's accessible

    Three weeks exactly now I have to finish waiting for the CZ 75B I both and 30 days after that for the Blackhawk in 357 I bought.

    Once you have your first "Not Disapproved" email and pick up the first regulated firearm, file this and POOF- no more need to wait 30 days between purchases.

    Many FFL's will notarize the letter for you.

    (Hints-
    Tracking # at the top- leave blank.
    Nature of collecting activities can be ... Collecting.
    If practical, save a stamp and drop the letter in an envelope directly at the door at MSP LD)
