Maryland Designated Regulated Firearms Collector

Who did you use to notarize this? Don't like the idea of going to a bank for a notary on a gun form.

I have been reading up on it from what I can tell having it removes the limit of buying a regulated firearm every 30 days. I can't really see any other limits or requirements.

Because there looks like a lot to gain and no side effects I decided to look over the form. The form looks pretty straight forward except for one of the questions? The question is "Describe nature of collecting activities"?

What is generally put there?

Thanks
Robert

I put the following on mine and my sons. Naturally my son had to have his own form notarized, but both came back approved.

investment,target shooting, and occasional hunting

I used a credit union, but if you look in the yellow pages you will find individual notaries who will do the deed for you, for a price. A call to one or more of them should provide you with the cost but if your bank notarizes them, go for it. My bank notary is an employee of the bank and logged the notary process in her log book. Every notary has to keep a record of what they notarize.

UPS stores normally have a notary available also.

Still waiting for mine to come back, was mailed 1/26.

I had no problem at the bank. Actually the notary mentioned he was going to an area range after work with one of his coworkers. It was there way of blowing off steam at the end of the day.

They have stopped giving updates. Even when they lose apps.

I sent an email last night and received a reply today at around 1600 from TFC Thompson that said Approved and the date it was mailed out. Got home from work today and the letter was in the mailbox signed by TFC Thompson.

I submitted my Designated Collector's paperwork on January 28th (notarized at the local UPS store for $5 - rumor has it some gun shops will notarize these for free).

Received my accepted response yesterday, February 27th. That puts it at 27 days for me - running a full week quicker than firearm approval times. Now to start collecting!

kjf45 · Feb 28, 2013

Just got a phone call mine was in the mailbox today, put my paper work in the mail 1/29.

I spoke to Trooper Thompson today. She said she is only through completing Feb 2nd. So for all of you who were submitted in late January I would suspect you should be seeing your letters soon.

Well I mailed mine out around the 7th so I not gonna bother with calling then. I'll wait a little more patiently

Thanks for the updates. I submitted mine on the 4th. Hopefully I get mine back in a few days. Otherwise I'll have to wait the current 39+ days plus the additionally required 21 days on each purchase. I'm sure that the 39+ days number will just continue to climb.

That would only happen if more than 15,000 guns are sold in MD each month ... I'm thinking the shops have already pretty much run out. In a few weeks MSP should be caught up with the massive run on guns

Time will tell

I hope you are correct -- but I don't see things getting better anytime soon. Local FFL's might be short of stock but people will just buy more on-line and go thru the expense and hassle of transfers. I know it has been written that MSP is doing everything possible, including mandatory overtime, but their staff must be tired and worn out from 3 months of probably triple the workload they normally have. In addition, the # of applications that need further investigating, tracking down applications that fell into the MSP fax machine black hole, as well as increasing #'s of calls and e-mails asking for the status of applications is going to slow things even further --- and now we'll have the pressure of finding and buying anything we really want that might be banned in the fall.

I was told by my FFL to simply put "for personal enjoyment". I submitted on 2/7 and still waiting.
