I have a question about the MSP 77r in relation to purchasing an AR-15 lower. I spoke to my FFL dealer and he advises that the lower is a registered firearm, and that in order to purchase one, I must fill out the MSP 77r at his shop and that he will then fax the completed 77r to the MSP. After the appropriate waiting period and assuming I am not disapproved, I can go back and pick up my AR15 lower.
So, I downloaded a copy of the 77r to familiarize myself with it and here is where I have a question. In Part 2, Section 1, the 77r asks for Transferee (Purchaser) Voluntary Registrant Information. This section requires the applicant to indicate, by checking the appropriate box, whether he/she:
• has completed a Certified Firearms Training Course;
• is a LEO;
• possesses a valid handgun permit;
• is a member, retired member, or honorably discharged member of the Armed Forces;
• or has completed a DNR Hunting and Firearms Training course.
My question is this. In order to be approved, does an applicant have to indicate that he/she falls within at least one of these categories? What if the applicant (me) cannot claim that he falls within any of these groups? Is this section simply collecting data about the applicant, or is it establishing some minimum criteria that must be met in order to be approved?
Thanks for any help!
