    MSP Timeframe

    I applied on 1/12/16, nothing approved except Application/License and DHMH. I called Maryland State Police and they told me that they have 30 BUSINESS days. It's going to take months... I have a friend that just got his card, and it came in 6 weeks. MSP told me that they are very overloaded with work. I guess people are scared that Obama will make another policy which will make it more difficult for law abiding citizens to buy guns.

    you'll be approved within two weeks......calling really wasn;t necessary but i understand the anticipation and constantly logging into msp site looking at your checklist :P patience is a virtue man

    It will be 25-28 days and another week to get the card in the mail. Nothing will change until they all go complete. It has been pretty consistent for the past couple of months.

    I applied for mine on 1/2/16 same day as the LiveScan prints. The status didn't change until the day it went active on 1/27/16. Received it in the mail today.

    How long are license taking to get mailed for people who had to take training? Wife took training and applied on 12/28/2015 and has not heard or received anything. I applied same day but was training exempt and already have my license in hand. Applications were done at a all in one place and I dont have her login info to check hers and if I enter her name and birthday it comes up there is no record.

    You might want to call to check on hers. I applied the same time 12/27 and was not training exempt. Mine went active on 1/21 and I got the card about a week later. Your wife's is way over due.

    Since it is past 30 days, I think that you are beyond the being patient period. Time for them to explain why it has not been completed.
