    MSP does the NICS check on handguns, state statute is no reply from MSP after 7 days, firearm can be released on 8th day.

    Dealers do the NICS check on rifles/shotguns, per federal law, they can release the firearm (rifle/shotgun) after three days without a reply from NICS.

    Predictably, Everytown and Moms are claiming this is a loophole that needs to be fixed in the next MGA session.

    In MD, I thought MSP did NICS check. Dealer doesn't know result until paperwork comes back.

    Or is it otherwise?

    MSP does the NICS for anything regulated by the state. Dealers do NICS for non-regulated.

    During this mess we were instructed by the ATF to put “NOT PROVIDED” and the 77R number for the NICS number on the 4473. The way the form is, we put the NICS number or the state transaction number if the state is the point of contact for NICS. For regulated firearms, MSP is the point of contact for NICS. It was an easy solution and took us 10 minutes to figure out with one phone call to our ATF contact.

    indeed.

    However I also think the state will no be so eager to rock the boat. The 8 day release gives them an 'out' to claim they are not 'infringing'.
