    So all of my checklist is either complete or n/a, and still says pending. How long does it usually stay like this before it goes active?

    Took mine several weeks and then they all suddenly were checked and the card followed soon after.

    What I mean is that on the 7th of Feb, all my checklist was completed. However, I haven't been given a license number yet and it still says pending. I thought once the checklist was done, you were given a Lisc. #

    When you log in, below the link for going to the checklist page, there should be fields showing license #, date issued, expiration date. Do you have this on your main page? Once approved, you won't be able to go to the checklist page. At least I cannot.

    Yes, those fields are there, however, they are blank and it says pending on the right. Maybe just going through a final check before they make it active????

    Steel,

    If it doesn't go in the next few days, then call. Mine went from 2 items with approval dates and the rest pending on the checklist to the license section being filled in. Waited about a week after that for the card to show up.

    Approved 2/14. Submitted 1/19; waiting on the card itself... apparently MSP barracks won't process a 77R w/o a copy of the actual card.... at least not Glen Burnie Barrack. The Sgt on the phone was polite. He said he could "try" to send it up with just the number but their SOP is to photocopy the HQL w/ DL and submit it as a package....

    Would it be easier to just pay a dealer to transfer between 2 of us?

    I'm sure there's a thread about having to begin this process. I'm sure I'll find it. Although I'm not happy about being forced to do this by MD.

    Very interesting our situations are identical.

    Paid on the 11th. Everything but three things completed on the 245th.


    Very curious. J have three guns in the gulag. I haven't made a purchase in many years and this is why
