recent HQL wait time

swollseyba · Jul 21, 2016

Hello All,

This is my 1st post, so forgive me if this has been covered recently or if I am posting this in the wrong place.

Anyone submit for HQL lately? I saw on a previous post here (probably a few years old) that most people were approved in less than 72 hours.

I am prior reserve (technically still in reserves) however my military ID has expired. I was faced with getting a new ID or submitting fingerprints and a DD-214 and/or hunters safety card info.

I don't have a DD214 since I am technically still a reservist (not actively drilling)

Had to dig up hunters safety info...submitted everything on the 15th.

I emailed the MSP yesterday to see what the probable wait time would be.

They promptly replied and said they lawfully had 30 days to process my request and would take the entire 30 days allowed to do so.

Anyone else having a similar experience?

They are correct. The search functions works well on this Forum.

Mine took just about that amount of time to process. No card yet (about 6 days since approval) but I checked online and I am now a certified firearm purchasing capable Marylandese, good for ten years. Count an extra week or so for the card to get to you.

For firearms purchases patience is a vrtue...and a necessity.

And you still have a 7 day wait

Racer Doug14 · Jul 21, 2016

Maryland 2a issue sub forum has a thread about just that.

derp! thanks guys.

Magnumite · Jul 24, 2016

My card showed up on the 23rd (yesterday). That is 9 days after HQL was approved.

Don't know how true, but the rumor was they do a print run once a month.
I know in 2014 think it was sept or oct. I did my app online on a Friday or Saturday, did my livescan on Monday, and had the HQL in the mail that Friday, so less than a week.

A friend got his a month ago; it took 2 weeks. For the past year, MSP has been detailing people to the license processing section periodically. So, it seems that occasionally they run a back log.

Strangely, 2 friends who have "unreadable prints" were notified that they needed to return to the fingerprint place & re-do their prints (& have to pay an additional $10 fee). Both waited, & got their HQL's in the mail 1-2 weeks later. Apparently even MSP can sometimes do the reasonable thing.

sonuvaaaa

the checklist still says unchecked for everything other than the application fee and DHMH.

Today is just past the 2 week mark for my official submission date.
All I can do it wait. Hopefully no new bans will pop up in the meantime.

I'd say you've got another 6 days before anything else gets comp'd. I've still got 3 things left. They've been that way for like four days now. I'm at like 20+ days.

FYI: I'm now at 18 days since submission with zero action. Patience! bob

Boneuphtoner · Jul 29, 2016

I know it is tough to do, but have faith that it will get done. My was approved 29 days after submission, and I received 5 days after approval.

Racer Doug14 · Jul 30, 2016

I'm active as of 7-28. So applied on 7-6. 22 days and now to wait for card, plus 7 more "cooling off" days.

GunnerGunz · Aug 27, 2016
