Wife and I applied on 1/22 within moments of each other.
I went active on 1/29 and she went active 1/30.
Her card arrived yesterday (2/9) and was postmarked 2/6
Mine did not arrive.
Hopefully it will be here today.

Mine finally arrived 2/11 (postmarked 2/9)

I guess so... :rolleyes:

You think the HQL wait was bad....now once you pick out your new handgun, you get to fill out all of the same paperwork again, by hand, and computer, and wait 7 business days.

I'm only 4 days in, and of course tomorrow and Sunday don't count.... :smack:

And #2 is already picked out (and deposit given), so now I'm patiently waiting for the Designated Collector letter.... :innocent0

I might buy another one the day the Collector letter shows up, just to see how much paperwork I can actually fill out without a 30 year house loan coming with it... :lol2:

Bob, who told you Saturday's and Sunday's don't count???? That was not the case on my last purchase a few weeks ago. Your non-disapproved should be back in a 3 or 4 days once the paperwork is faxed to the MSP. Regardless your FFL should be able to transfer on the 8th day.

Saturday and Sundays count. As long as Sunday is not the 7th day. If the 7th day is a Sunday or holiday, the day is extended to the next day.

Interesting...
Got my HQL Monday (1/9) and went right there to do paperwork.
The guy who did the paperwork with me (@Freestate) said, "OK, see ya in 10 days"...obviously taking into account the weekend.

And Randy, an owner, also said specifically that it was 7 "business" days, and 8th day release...

Technically, the actual 7th day is Monday...

Mini14tac · Feb 13, 2015

That must be Freestate's policy! Not required!

swinokur · Feb 13, 2015

I just reread the back of the 77r. There is no mention of business days.

Well, that blows. :mad54:

Been an owner of this gun for 3 weeks, so another 2 days isn't the end of the world....

BUT....

If it isn't required by LAW, then I guess I will not be buying another handgun from them.

We have enough BS "policies" to deal with without having ones from our LGS's...

here's the back of the 77r. no mention of business days

Thank you for posting that.

swinokur · Feb 13, 2015

i'm kinda surprised by what Randy told you. Sometimes employees are not on top of the laws. But the owner kinda surprises me.

At least now you know.

Yep, we literally just talked about it 2 days ago. He was very specific about it being "7 business days"...and as a newbie HQL holder, I didn't know any different. I will be stopping there after work to do some shooting, so hopefully he'll be there and I can re-visit the topic.

have him read the back of a 77r.

end of discussion as far as I can see

I agree. I'll update.

You know Monday is a federal holiday. Maybe they were figuring Valentines day is a holiday too!
