    :omg: there is a holiday..............:sad20:

    Yep, that’s why the new pistol I did paperwork for last Monday won’t be ready until Tuesday or Wednesday of this week. Best advice is sit back and find something else to do until you get that email at 6am. Or go buy a long gun so you can cash and carry same day to help pass the time.

    For me it's been six years and two months, and counting.

    I just can't bring myself to accede to the idea that the state has the right to abrogate my rights. C&R for the win.

    The rules allow C&R without the HQL.

    For the time being, of course. MD GA goes into session in early January.

    Wife and I submitted apps on 12/15. We both got letters stating a background check was done and came back clean.

    Still shows as pending on the website for both of us :/ looks like it will take close to if not the entire 30 days

    Checked online and we both got approved today! So 13 days from application to approval.

    HQL applied on: 2/18/20 (at night right after class)
    Approved: 3/6/20 (3/5/20 started the checklist process)
    Card received: 3/11/20 (7 days from a full month from when my app was put in)

    Let's see if I fall into that 10-14 day range.
    If you get denied, do the site says they will let you know via email or mail within 2-3 days, this still the time frame for denied apps?

    --
    In full days, it took 17 days. Business days, took 13 days.
