That'll teach them to surf porn on the file server.
Someone probably initiated a search for a spent shell casing.

Sorry, my kid went to buy his first gun.
This
shootin the breeze
Missed it by that much
Meh, who cares. WNC. So refreshing and freeing. Almost like living in America.
We are releasing. The buyers have an HQL. What more is needed? It's a pain with the extra scanning of forms, but not a big deal.
And we still have a few guns for sale
And that's why you get at least 99% of my business.
If they were closer then maybe BBP dropping to 98% of my business...

DPSC is not releasing much info about this. They are just saying their technicians are working on it and there is no ETA.
No ETA is always a bad sign. I can't imagine what could have gone wrong for it to take this long and not have an ETA. I'm thinking there was a databreach or unauthorized access and they aren't turning things back on until they find the source. Its not even their database its NCICs database and DPSC is just facilitating the connection.

Man, that is some very high quality multi-dimensional 2A nerd humor right there.

AND THAT IS WHY, Baltimore's Best/Elite Firearms is the best. This is not a paid advertisement... I truly believe that Dan, Joel, Ken, and Mike are the best dealers in the state. Rock on, guys!

Or it could be that the DPSC server farm got pwn3d and NCIC shut them out. And now they're trying desperately to fix it. Don't forget that MSP/DPSC also accesses ~10 other databases that also may potentially be screwed up if DPSC is the source node.
Also recall that another govt database of police officer PII was hacked recently...
I would imagine they got hit with ransomware, or had a failure without backups.
No ETA either means they are still trying to diagnose the problem, which 3 days in is unlikely, OR they are unable to recover quickly due to being locked out of their systems, or they had systems fail with no backups to revert to.
So...
Does this database contain info on previous 77r purchases? If so, someone or someone’s may have info on gun owners in Maryland. Even if it just records background checks, it could be deduced that said people own guns. If this is the case, could having the info in the ether be G & S? Just thinking abstractly

Or, they had some power distribution hardware flame out, and aren't on a contract that gets it ripped out and replaced in hours, but rather in days ... because, lowest bidder, etc.
Or they're still using an out of date load balancer or other key piece of network infrastructure that was set up in a way they can't easily piece back together without some fresh engineering, and nobody wanted to pay in advance for being ready for that.
So many possibilities because there are SO many failure points in an environment like that (carriers, power, HVAC, wide and local network interfaces, security systems, the applications, the back end databases, storage, management people ... a lot to go wrong. Full redundancy or a viable commitment to getting it back on its feet in short order costs a lot of money, in advance, all the time, every month, like insurance.
