    My mistake. The email comes at 6 not 7.

    It means if you admit you took possession before 7 days have elapsed you’re admitting to a felony

    Or that you got a firearm by some nefarious method you didn’t initiate

    Ignore it.

    It means that they want you to turn yourself and the dealer in if the two of you broke the law by transferring the firearm early. And they want you to let them know if you're getting a 77R approval that you didn't initiate.

    Loving the "not disapproved".

    Meaning we don't want you to have it, we know you're not worthy, but your sins are hidden so well we have to give you your rights. Fvcking peasant.

    I guess Black Friday and Small Business Saturday count as holidays now in MDSP's book.
    Cyber Monday probably does too! I guess I'll be lucky if I get that email by Wednesday.

    I'm in the same boat. It turns out that Friday was also a state holiday. American Indian Heritage Day.

    So if they make every day a state holiday of some sort, then we'd never be able to transfer an handgun......

    We get up at twelve,
    go to work at one.
    An hour for lunch,
    then at two we're done.

    Jolly old fun!

    Wonder if the "Not Disapproved" paperwork is sub'ed out to Emerald City?

    I was not disapproved on time, or at least by the day the dealer told me at the beginning. The app was sent in on the Dec 27th, and I was approved by email Jan 4th at 6 a.m. on the DOT. Not counting Sunday it was eight days. Counting Sunday and New year's it was nine days. Now in between that time I was placed on hold, and transferred to a special investigator. The email I received said there was a problem with my background and that would have to call the holds investigator, which could speed up the process. So I jumped on that quickly. I was able to help him help me clear this on time. He was a super nice and helpful guy I appreciate his willingness to take care of this as quickly as possible.

    + The approval date on the portal is 1/3/19 + the hold was placed on New year's day

    Congratulations (I guess)

    From your "home based FFL", to your buying tribulations, to assorted desiderata, you have had a trying few weeks on MDS.

    Shinebox has not been added to the cart, but its early on yet.

    Hope things go well, going forwarded.

    Both my wife and I have Military ID. Is the new online 77R recognize that instead of HQL?

    Makes sense to fill out the 77R portal prior to pickup on handgun. Especially if FFL is 15 miles away.
