MSP issues press release about Handgun Qual Licenses "success"

gulfwarsubvet · Oct 16, 2013

Funny the speed at which these were processed by MSP.
.... and the recent treatment of these HQLs vs. their treatment, and whole attitude towards, the processing of background checks. :sad20:

Breaking News, October 2020.
The MSP reports that they have recovered nearly all of the assault weapons owned by citizens in violation of this years SB 281 (named after the lifesaving SB 281 of 2013). We have received much praise from our Socialist state leaders.

Yep I agree with that. You are probably word for word accurate on what it will say

508 mailed out of 1,000 apps.

I find those numbers comical (not funny) because of the number of pre 10/1 apps/purchases they said they received.

Highly unlikely.

I'd be interested to know how many of these HQLs are for folks that have to take the training....my guess: None!

You're right because by 2020 there will be no MSP, only the New Imperial Guard commissioned by the IDB.

ironpony · Oct 16, 2013

Their plan is coming together.

Eroyle · Oct 16, 2013

Proceeded my HQL quickly but have received card in the mail.

Ranger Tom · Oct 16, 2013

Saw the same BS in the Frederick News-Post.
Really patting themselves on the back about this (1/2 of 900 applications) no mention of the 50,000 not disapproved still out there.

JettaRed · Oct 16, 2013

I'm not even gonna read the release. I don't need the anger. Between the government shut down (though there are rangers to keep people out of national parks that are paid for by the taxes those people pay), Obamacare, the Debt Ceiling, and my truck's transmission going out, I got all the anger I can handle at the moment.

My hats off to the MSP personnel who made the HQL application process way less daunting than it could have been.

Good job MSP

Yay! At least those shackles don't hurt too much, eh?

daggo66 · Oct 16, 2013

Why is this surprising? They did this on purpose to make everything look good and to crap all over the lawsuit. This is why I feel that anyone exempt from training should have waited 60 or 90 days before applying. They will spin this to prove the HQL is not a defacto ban as we hav e claimed. :sad20:

Here it is... this is beautiful, you just gotta love it. I would like to thank our great leader, Martin O'Malley, and his trusted legal wizard-Mr. Gansler, without whom this would not have been possible...

The Maryland State Police Licensing Division today mailed out more than half of the almost 1,000 handgun qualification licenses that have been applied for under the state’s new firearms law that took effect October 1st.

Today, the Licensing Division mailed 508 handgun qualification licenses to approved applicants, 15 days after the new law took effect. Since October 1st, 904 applications for a handgun qualification license have been received. State Police personnel have so far conducted the required background checks and approved 761 of the applicants. The remaining number of approved applicants should be receiving their licenses shortly.

Unless exempted, as of October 1, 2013, the state’s new gun law requires a Maryland resident to possess a valid handgun qualification license before he or she may purchase, rent, or receive a handgun. To apply for a license or learn details about where to obtain fingerprints or training, persons are encouraged to visit the Maryland State Police website at www.mdsp.org and click on Licensing Division. A list of frequently asked questions and answers about the new law is also available there.

The Maryland State Police continues to receive positive comments from members of the public regarding the user friendly nature of the online application process. Firearms Safety Training Courses are available throughout the state and the Maryland State Police continue to register qualified handgun instructors daily. In addition, the State Police remain in constant communication with Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services personnel, who report that live-scan fingerprinting sites across the state are prepared to meet the demand for this new license.

The Maryland State Police remains dedicated to its obligation to issue the handgun qualification license within 30 days of receipt of a completed application. The HQL Unit stands ready to answer any questions regarding the requirements or status of any license. Most questions can be answered through the website mentioned above.
