    Well...I finally received my license today....this really bogus looking license. So I'll be headed to the dealer to start the paper work for the gun. For a second there I was getting really annoyed at the fact that the website had me as having an active license. I guess it took about as long as everyone else.

    So a 9mm 1911 has really caught my eyes. I was on the MSP site and it said you can be expempt from the training requirement if, "Lawfully owns a regulated firearm. If you already own a handgun or assault weapon prior to October 1, 2013, you do not have to complete the training to apply for the Handgun Qualification License. "

    Does this basically mean if you purchased regulated firearms before that date that you dont have to take the class? Just get finger printed, fill out the forms and send it in?

    I now understand what a pain in the ass this is.

    That's correct. You'll have to put in the info for one of your pre Oct 1 regulated firearms so they can verify.

    So I received my clean background check letter but still show the NICS, CJIS, and JIS as open online. Does that mean there is a problem? Anyone else have a lag in online checklist updates?

    PS- I have nothing close to a criminal record. Not even a speeding ticket in 15 years.

    all you sections are complete overnight essentially? that's interesting. I applied 3-1 received my cjis letter but am still waiting on it and JIS to be finished. this sounds like msp with no rhyme or reason to a procedure.

    I applied on 3/4. I received the CJIS letter two days later. The website still doesn't show that as updated.

    Wife FINALLY got hers, over a week after me. Applied 2/17, received 3/10. Don't know what the holdup was.

    I submitted my app on Saturday and it wasn't looked at until Monday morning. Everything was checked and HQL issued by mid afternoon on Monday.

    my hql is active as of this afternoon. How long should it take my card to arrive?


    I still partially feel like a crook for having to go through all this to exercise a right...

    Mine said it was active as of 2/26. I received the actual card in the mail yesterday. From what I'm seeing it's taking people about 2 weeks to get theirs in the mail.
